Yes I have the Id of the plane.. Also I’m in contact with the family of the pilot who died in the crash. He was a volunteer from Belgium

I agree, especially if you have its id , just a light clean and a coat of clear lacquer.

You are right Rob, having something Spitfire in original shape gets rarer by the day

Personal choice I guess, but for me I would spend a little more time cleaning it, then leave it as is. Once you “restore” something it’s originality and history is gone.
But of course I am in the minority on here, as I’m sure many others would rather see it restored.
