The remains of EE606 still exist, last seen with a collector in the UK.

I wonder if the Hurricane or Buchon were involved with DM numbers during their rebuilds.

Not for certain, however if I had to guess I would have thought that DM001-DM007 would include PT462, EE606, PL344 etc, as I say, just a guess but I imagine that either Mark V or Mark12 would know more judging by their in depth knowledge of all thing Spitfire.

From my point of view I would take BR601 over the swapped identity of MH367.any day.

Unless the reason for buying MH367 was that it has 2 seats. It would be interesting to analyse BR601 and MH367 to see exactly how much 1940’s original Spitfire structure each one has as opposed to 1990’s re-manufactured Spitfire structure, when once we have gone through that exercise we can perhaps look at a few others which have had a thorough rebuild.

At the end of the day the vast majority of pristine Warbirds have been rebuilt incorporating many new parts over the years and do they look, or perform any different at Airshows etc for us all to see?………………………..No

If the identity of DM008 had not been given earlier, the rebuilders had avoided giving it any identity and it had been rolled out as MH367 we would have been none the wiser. At the end of the day it is a Spitfire.

Peter Vacher’s Hurricane would be nice to see out and about.

What about a Mustang v Buchon dog fight 😀

That’s good news, gives the Mustangs some target practice 😀

I had the opportunity to have a look at the Buchon on Saturday, looks a very nice aircraft, be nice to see it out and about.

I hope it wasn’t BW881, as that aircraft is now under restoration as G-KAMM.

John Dibbs?????????

I think you may be quoting the wrong person here.

It’s a great shame that this happened at all without pointing the finger at anybody.

I can promise you that potentially the best Mustang restored in the UK was far more than a dataplate when it arrived. I’d be interested to know which aircraft are supposed to be new aircraft with just a dataplate for provenance.

Who’s to say that you won’t get to hear a Merlin at the PFA rally 😀 It’s always a possibility.

The Doll certainly has been into Headcorn before as has another UK based P51D ‘Janie’, a very busy airfield these days, always something going on, just wish the surface was a bit smoother 😀

Could possibly have been Rob Davies in his P51D Big Beautiful Doll, the aircraft was out and about on the Saturday and Sunday that weekend and is based locally.
