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


Thank you Peter, I must admit that I had a niggling doubt as I posted
that one.

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.


Thanks for the tip, I'll track down a copy.

Regards,
