As I understand it, a dataplate restoration is not really dependent on any said dataplate. What you need is a substantial amount of identifiable parts from a known Spitfire wreakage. With this you can approach the CAA and be approved the ownership of said Spitfire ID and start restoring/”building” your spitfire. So, if the only thing you have is a dataplate, you might have a problem later on, if someone turns up with the actual wreakage with “your” Spitfire ID stamped all over it.
