There is also the remains of Spitfire V AD540 which was recovered by the Dumfries & Galloway Museum based at Tinwald Downs I believe. I saw the documentary of the recovery made by the British TV program Blue Peter during the mid nineties.

AD540 was also a presentation aircraft and named Blue Peter after a famous racing horse. I heard that they were planning to rebuild the airframe but don't know if it has gone beyond the planning stage, Correct me if I'm wrong
