Was: Beware parts consolidation

Just noted a very interesting piece many postings ago regarding provenance and identities and John Parkers' comments (which I think were well made) about identities.

Sorry if I sound like a stuck record, but imho (and many others for that matter) the identity of an aircraft should always be the centre fuselage section - the bit that carries the data plate. Anything else hung off this centre section is really almost irrelevant. This is certainl how Mustangs are categorised in my experience and researching.

Interested to know other's opinions on this
