spitfire

hi all,,hello from down unda,,i brought a old hand built spitfire rc model a few weeks ago that turns out to have a bit of history behind her ,,and after a few searchs and investergating have come to a bit of a stand still,, i know it was built by a guy that owned a model shop in Yorkshire,England by the name of emmerson, i also know that his son flew it and 4 other models he scratch built all over England at differant airshows,the model of the spity is about 20 to 30 yrs old,the plane has been scale built with a 6ft wing span and every detail one can think of , it turns out it is a copy of a spity that was based at isbley during may 1941 and was piloted by a man named Alec Lumsden,who later went on to be a well knowin writer after the war yrs,the real spity ,and the model ,bore the name ‘Bette” and also had painted on the cowling ,’the borough of lambeth’,she wore the numbers p8088 and on the side of the fusalage the numbers read ‘NKK’,
my questions to all and anyone are as follows,,
1) does anyone know of this spitfire or has any photos of the plane during the time it served during the war,or pilot,
2)what happened to the real plane?
3)does anyone know of the builder of the model

the reasons i ask these is because i are restoring the model ,and maybe even fly her again,but mostly would like to show it as a static display and would love to have a board with the info collected on her,,,
many thanks for yr time and for reading this ,to me living in new zealand, it finding its way all the way down here ,i think it deserves the effort to find out more of this most awesome model,,
regards,,,,les
