Vickers/Supermarine Construction Pictures

I have seen a number of interesting Spitfire construction photographs in different books.

Does anyone know whether they are available to purchase and if so, from where?

Thank you

Try the Museum of Berkshire Aviation (MuseumBerksAv@gmail.com) at Woodley. They may have pix of the ‘line’ at Vincent’s Garage. “Wings Over Woodley” (Julian C Temple) may be another source?
For the bigger picture then IWM might be a good bet. If they don’t have pix then they would probably know who does!

No I don’t know either, but if anyone can lay their hands on a photograph of the Spitfire fuselage line at Vincent’s Garage in Reading please, I would be eternally grateful on behalf of someone who was there at the time and has lost his copy.
