Time Team/Spitfire P9373

Hi all,
I known that I should have been working but I watched a re-run of the Time Team programme on Discovery this morning (one of the benefits of working for yourself and at home), whereby the remains of Spitfire P9373, flown by Paul Klipsch, was recovered.

An interesting programme but what struck me more than anything else, was that all the engine, cockpit and rear fuselage had impacted into a length of approximately 8 feet.

Out of interest, does anyone know what happened to the wreckage after recovery.
