Spitfire N3200 now on the British Register

Very true, Mk 1’s are in short supply.

G-CFGJ might be on the UK register, but the company owner is in the Cayman Islands!:D

Another Spitfire? Oh well I guess it’s another piece of history saved and there has to be some consolation in that.

More importantly it is another Mark I and one with a combat history.

IIRC there was one more substantial Spitfire wreck recovered from a French beach about the same period as the Sangatte Spitfire (and the Calais example), any chance of that one surfacing as well?

I’m just a crusty cynic!

Join the club! But I’ll refrain from reiterating the arguments that have been advanced ad nauseam, both here and elsewhere, because I think that positions are pretty well polarised by now.

Indeed. There’s a piccy of her getting tide-washed in 1940 here: http://www.bignotion.co.uk/~kemble/aircraft.html (about a third of the way down).

And a slightly more recent one here: (you may recognise some of the protagonists in the thread!) http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=77969

Doubt there’ll be much old N3200 in the new N3200, but I’m just a crusty cynic!
