I have a 1975 HMSO booklet about the early years of the RAF museum, a listing of RAFM reserve aircraft is included which has 16 Spitfires allocated.
One of these is LA 255.

Many other types from the list have now appeared on display at Cosford.

Check back in the threads and use google, there are no Defiants in Loch Ness.
What does it take to get a simple fact across ? But then I suppose it is because I have experience in research and get annoyed when I see the rumours repeated . And its not just aviation research where this happens, some people just do not want the facts to spoil a story.

If you ever decide to organise a recovery you will need solid evidence before anyone will come up with funds and a rumour will not work (unless you have a way of converting people with more money than sense , which has of course happened )

Thanks for those and it is good to note how many are preserved.

Be very very careful regards legal aspect of your project, school sports ground is private land and you will need permission for each person that you photograph, it is a legal minefield and many pros have decided to stopcovering these events.
Yes I can hear you saying that it is not logical because many parents take snaps of the event, but as soon as you start making money you have to take a pro view and cover the legal side.

The freedom that was fought for was the freedom of choice.While we have laws of the land they are there to restrain those with bad intentions towards others. Having choice and also tolerance is the way a nation state can progress. If legal options regarding genetics are offered than we have a choice but should not seek to deny others that choice. When a county has a dictatorial rule then that is bad news.

What brings Ryan Air into the public eyes so much is the way it does business and this is not concealed to any great degree.Forums on line and other media articles focus attention on it. Sadly there are many other companies which do the same but are very good at hiding the facts and it takes digging on line to find quite legal but morally wrong ways to extract hidden charges.For many years this has been covered by the catchphrase “It is all in the contract that you signed ” (in small print or the TC box that you clicked on Line )

Remember Watchdog? Full of examples,including deliberate double booking of rooms by loco hotel chains and the alternative offered can be 50 miles away.So it is a world of not taking deals at face value and asking some searching questions at the point of sale.
