Found this on the net, does anyone have any information about this one?

Taylorman, there already is a flying genuine Seafire XV, unless i’m much mistaken.

It is a “model” that the Shearwater Aviation Museum in Nova Scotia, Canada takes around to airshows, Navy Days and parades to promote the museum.

Coincidence?

Seafires – lake Ontario

Well this story is like a bad smell that just won?t go away. Been following the story of a Seafire in Toronto’s harbour for years. The story seems true and it may be Seafire PR434 that was cut up an pitched over the side of a tender in and around 1953-4. No one wants to confess so the story really can?t be confirmed. The RCN archives at HMCS York might have some more clues though I have had no time to look.

Could be an MJ-10, although that rudder needs serious re-shaping…!

The rudder and upper cowling both appear to be very inaccurate so very definitely not an original machine

Looks like a static replica.
