Someone seems to be having a garage clearance of Spitfire parts on ebay.. There is a a control column (2K) and Canopy (front and rear separately listed). User is erelzebub, based in East Sussex.. Anyone have any idea who/where this stuff is from?

I dont believ how much the wheel rims and knackered tyres went for £790 .I am not 100% but think they are mk 14/16 onwards and definately not B of B as advertised so someone is going to be very upset if they bought them for their war time collection to stick on the drive !!!.
Thye gent seems as many do to be rather liberal with the phrase B of B and Spitfire for parts that sometimes could be almost anything !!!

Perhaps not rocket science, Firebex, but expensive all the same. Especially if its for a flyer, and I suspect most of that frame would fly.

But then it’s not a real piece, just a replica frame with associated value….

I suspect the value in the rear canopy section, Firebex, is in the frame rather than the perspex.
Maybe but they aint rocket science to manufacture are they Andy ???

Rear canopy just gone for £500 plus silly money for second hand.
You can buy brand main new canopies circa £600 and the rear for less and that is NEW not dubious heritage and scratched to hell and back .
Some bits of interest but others as has been commented upon perhaps a question mark should be placed in the appropriate place in this gentlemans adverts ?. Perhaps a lesson in carefull wording when flogging off the surplus ?.

This isn’t the remains of the (in)famous ex. Turkish Spitfires that have been rumoured for many a year is it ?
If so then it looks like those Turkish boys were pretty thorough during the scrapping process.
If I am on the right adverts as there are a few he is also stating genuine B of B if not a very risky statement !!!!!

Too obvious to pass up, but Spitfire?!
Are the wheels definately Spitfire?
If they aint I will want a refund !!!!!. The man says they are without a doubt so if they aint he will be paying plus carriage BOTH WAYS !!!!!

The spade grip looks very nice indeed but the labels look like repros. The font is wrong and the airscrew control was usually anodised. Back to my tin of rivets, one, two…..

Looks like a bit of a Turkey to me. 😉
