Dave,
Looking at the P63 photos as Mesa you would have to say they all look very similar to these four and are logically from the same source. Corrosion is not the biggest issue here. To see six of the eight wings, neatly laid out in the shop, undercarriage uppermost, with bright Red Stars all but takes your breath away. History tells us from the Spitfire world that yesterday's rejects are tomorrow's treasure and I am sure that will be the case here.
