With Jeffrey Quill and Alex Henshaw in the photo, I’d second dhfan’s guess at RJ Mitchell’s briefcase

Date I cheated. Google.
Obviously an extremely elderly briefcase. RJ Mitchell’s?
By: Mark12 - 15th June 2004 at 14:21
Date and location correct.
Sure there is a replica or something in the background but what of the first image posting?
..and a little more.

I seem to recall the replica also being at Hendon then, so I’ll say that, too.

Tangmere has a Spitfire prototype replica so I’ll guess there but I’ve no idea of the occasion.

OK, I was at Hendon around this time doing some research on early canopies, and photographed the Mk1 to give us some clues to build BM597’s external screen. So it must have been March 1996, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first flight.

Nah! Way off.
Concentrate on the first image.
There is another clue in this shot
