Correction: The P38F ex Saidor you refer to is now at Westpac Restorations at Rialto. I believe the aircraft is Jandina IV. Currently allegations are that the aircraft was smuggled out and then featured in the great story of two P38s seen heading down the Calder Highway to the Melbourne docks.

You can read all about the recent alledged smuggling activities on Pacific Wreck Database.

The Spitfire Mk V is now in the USAF Museum (via Duxford - Liberator exchange)
