Cees,

This is the "Lance Corke" Spitfire RM873, or at least whats left of it - it was only a fuselage after the wings went to RR232 in Australia

I understand that this was being used as a spares source for the airworthy restoration of Mk.XIX PS836 - but of course I could be wrong :-)

Hope this helps

John
