That’s interesting, that is the image I scanned back in 2007 from an old magazine and posted on here. I see it has done the rounds of the internet since! 😉
The search function won’t let me find the relevant thread otherwise I would’ve provided a link, I’ll try again later.
Edit: found it! http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?75858-Old-aircraft-for-sale-ads

A quick google seems a sad end – but seems to suggest it may not be the end. http://www.airpixbycaz.co.uk/cazsite/aviation/warbirds/spitfires/history-MK297.html
From your link:
MK297 like all Confederate Air Force/Commemorative Air Force display Aircraft was maintained to the highest standard and immaculately presented
Wait, what??? LOL!!!
Having worked on former CAF aircraft I’m VERY aware of their standard of maintenance…

One of the ex COGEA Belgian Spitfires. It has the civil registration above the tail fin flash. Following the ‘Longest Day’ film and almost certainly MK297/G-ASSD.
