Exactly right Mr Cees !

PR MkXIX's PM630 & PS836, MkXIV RM873.Also SM914 in the museum, lovely looker that one.

Rather conveniently Mr Coggan has updated us with them in Aeroplane Monthly.
PS and RM are both apparently owned by RTAF Thai Air Classics at Chiang Mai and both under restoration to fly, been going some years now so who knows how far they have got, wish they'd get on with it.
I presume PM is in store and has donated it's wings to RM seeing as Peter Sledge had away with RM's original ones, now on either SM832 or MV262, references are ambiguous on this one.

I can't help thinking that something is wrong though.
The pics I've seen of the Thai Spits over the years have shown that PM630 was in much better condition than PS836 before the restorations started. So I'm wondering if the MkXIX being restored is really PM630 after all ?
Mr Spitfire expert?....anyone?....tell us more please !

All the above from memory, clever dick ain't I?
