In my opinion, its a shame to ground her, who cares if she’s a replica? I certainly dont (insert witty and sarcastic remark about dataplate spitfires) many people wouldnt have seen something like this fly, or even in a museum? there are two replicas that survive but no originals.
No there is not “provedance” but the same could be said for the one in Hendon. If she flies, younger people would be able to see a working flying example (albeit modern) of an aircraft from almost a hundred years ago!
IMHO thats priceless…
