photos of spitfires being restored?

I am looking for some modern day photos of early spitfires in workshops before they are painted up (or part painted)

In partcular Mk VB EP120 Mk Vc shuttleworth’s, Mk Ia Booker and any other ‘baby’ spitfires.

I hope someone can help?

Redarrowjag, where will the photos be used?

I am only interested for personal use this is all. I am not wanting to publish on the net or anywhere.

You need – ‘Spitfires and Polished Metal’, by Barry McKee.

That covers EP120, BM597 and AR614 amongst others.

EP120 had a period of 10 days between coming out of the jig, and going into the paint shop – fully fitted out. Good overtime that week.
