That's a plastic replica. The real K5054 was written off in a fatal
accident on 4 September 1939.

Glad to help. 'Wrecks and Relics' is a useful book for information about
museum exhibits and vintage aircraft in the UK, including their history
and real identity. Morgan and Shacklady's 'Spitfire, The History' came
in handy here too.
