Hello Paul,

I my memory serves me correct then the aircraft involved were the Bf109G-10 now in original condition in the collection of the Australian War Memorial
And the Spitfire VIII MV154 now with Robs Lamplough, which was indeed exported.
I believe both were formerly owned by Sydney Marshall.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
