Which was the one off Dunkirk?? Are you thinking Hurricane?
No Sorry I was getting the wrong spitfire mixed up,I was thinking of P9374.
‘cough’ Spitfire P7450 ‘cough’
Recovered too soon maybe
Was that the one off Dunkirk? that was just a ball of scrap wasn’t it?
It makes you realize that in the UK whenever that’s been attempted it’s done by people with no clue, we need to get advice abroad next time this is attempted here.

I notice the Tempest ones are from Norwich on ebay, I wonder if they’re from the two Tempest cockpits in that region, the ones everybody goes into a cold sweat if you mention them on this forum…
If you want the perspex blown part, MBN fabrications Ltd, Berkhampstead. have the moulds for Spitfire canopies [ I’ve seen them on shelves there].

Following on from the South Pacific, the former Soviet Union and Afghanistan etc, will the recent P-40 discovery trigger an interest in North Africa as a source for historic airframes?
I wouldn’t shout this too loud otherwise you will get a stream of spam e-mails saying ” my dear departed brother/husband/father left me this Old wartime fighter and I don’t know what to do with it, we are short of food etc, please send us your bank details etc.etc..”
