Mick,
This is a rumour with a very large percentage of authenticity about it. It seemed that an insurance agent vistited someone and noticed that a spifire seat stood in the living room. When he told the owner he recognized it the owner told him to follow him to the back of the house where there was a barn (another barnstory). Here was a disassembled Spitfire in very good condition. The owner doesn't want to sell it, and a lot of people in Holland are after it. No serial, but it is reported that it is one of the target towing Spits as used by Schreiner at Texel during the fifties (the orange ones), so there aren't many to choose from if you have the book by Harry van de Meer.
That is all I know for now.
