I am pretty certain that the IBCC at Lincoln had a poll of sorts and the Hatchette model (Weekly parts issue) they had, was built in the guise of FFF

She also appeared in the TV drama ‘Family at War’

There are photos of ‘Grimsby 1′ in a publication called Grimsby At War’ published by the Grimsby Telegraph newspaper.
The Caption states
“Two Spitfires, Grimsby 1 and II built with the £15,000 raised in the town. Grimsby 1 survived the war but the second machine paid for by Edwin Bacon — was lost over France in 1942”

The photo in the book shows Grimsby II and possibly the close up of the name of No 1

There is also a programme cover shown for ‘Grimsby Wings for Victory Week’ Target: £500,000 Spitfires are shown on the cover

Hope that helps.
