Default Just got The World Models Spitfire

Further looking at the site revealed a smaller photo with the following caption:

Mr. Pond's Supermarine Spitfire took to the air again after a 1-1/2 year wait on the ground. The lucky pilot was Mike DeMarino. The Museum's spitfire is actually a composite spitfire with the wings from RM694 (a spitfire with a V-1 kill) and the fuselage of NH904.


Dragoonpvw, I'd be interested in how you know exactly which mark this is (especially considering the above), I emailed the site you linked to asking for more info... If I get a reply I'll post the info here....

Has anyone got information for specific Spitfire serial numbers?

Incedentely, the red, white & blue roundels aren't that unusual, have have several Spitfire pictures with this type. It may just be the standard markings used either late or post WWII.
