Spitfire SM845

Following the fatal landing accident which befell this Spitfire last year, I’m wondering what happened to the damaged airframe?

Is it even still in Sweden?

Richard lake is the new owner, fuselage being repaired at airframe assemblies and wings being done by hfl duxford who will assemble the aircraft to fly

Welcome Supermarine1, are you connected with this aircraft in some way ?

maybe so.. But the important bit is that its says

FR.XVIIIe SM845 SE-BIN Under restoration after crash 22-08-2010 Biltema, Ängelholm, Sweden

So they must have updated the page it to refer to crash in 2010 or 2011 – but probably forgot to update the ‘update date’

Good point, well presented.

I do however note a very large number of out of date listings making the site as useful as a very old newspaper with a new sub-heading added on page 18.

there was a rumour circulating that it is already in the UK and has been for a little while and has undergone a survey re the rebuild work required .
