Having recently seen the Battle of Britain memorial at RAF Lakenheath, which has a full size Spitfire mounted on a concrete column as its centre piece, I wondered if there were any real airframes displayed like this or are they all replicas now.
I could not decide whether or not the Lakenheath Spit was real or not.

Definitely plastic – and with an “E” wing mated to a Mk V fuselage! 😮

They’re all replicas these days.
