Hello John and Paul,
From the residue of my collection I have retained a number of key items including the front fuselage of a Mk22. At best this is only ever going to be a static (using original parts). I have started collecting again in earnest and will have something to show next year. I am calling in few favours. I have an identity but need to get a bit more down the track, with a couple of key items to be secured, before committing the serial. A bit of fun and retirement therapy. When you have been a member of the Spitfire owners club for over thirty years it is hard to let it go!
Regards,
PeterA
