spitfire /seafire restoration updates?

Just looking at Duxfords residence checklists website http://www.axtd59.dsl.pipex.com/webdoc1.htm and apparently HFL/ ARCo have spitfires and seafires:

TBA/MB293/G-CFGI V-S 358 Seafire II

TBA/RX168/G-BWEM V-S 358 Seafire III

TBA/N3200/G-CFGJ V-S 300 Spitfire I

TBA/P9373/G-CFGN V-S 300 Spitfire I

TBA/RK858/G-CGJE V-S 361 Spitfire LF.IXe

Does anyone have more info or updates on their restorations at all?

maby a couple might be used on the new BoB film:diablo:

Seems strange to put it into storage. That looks pretty advanced!

Cannot really say much, but what you have surmissed about her going into Storage is correct, pic is no longer accurate, she has since moved a bit from the hangar shown and the hangar has gone too…

I thought it was RM689?

It is. It was painted as RM619 for a time in the 1970s….

Speaking of PS853, Will Rolls Royce continue to operate her upon RM619’s completion or will one be sold?

RM619 has been placed in long term storage.
