It has been reported to me that a Spitfire fuselage was noted heading towards the town of Halesworth today via a small back road through the village of Wissett.
His exact words were – ‘Just had a Spitfire fuselage pass by on the back of a lorry had the letter P by the roundel. Any ideas?’
Might be a fibreglass replica.

Sounds vaguely familiar do you happen to know if it just extended from frame 5 (firewall)to just behind the rear cockpit glazing with its canopy etc on it ??.
As there is one like this for sale at present it is indeed a replica (ex John Poiser)fairly well constructed with a fully kitted genuine interior even down to the correct undercarriage indicator and chassis selector etc.
If it sounds familiar I will dig a photo out and you can compare if it the same but I thought it might be going to Brooklands sale for 16th as the owner wants to much money for it.
