Photographed in the workshop of Charles Church (Spitfires) Ltd, Roundwood Farm, near Micheldever, Hampshire. It had arrived on 13 January 1987 and, although superficially complete, the airframe was a mixture of parts from Mks IX, VIII & XIV and Chief Engineer Dick Melton decided that it could not be restored as a whole. The Mk XIV wings were transferred to MV262 and remanufactured by Ron Clarke of RGC Aviation whilst the fuselage was stored until sold to Sussex Spraying Services Ltd in November 1989. The project was registered as G-BRSF on 22 November 1989.

Roll out ceremony of the complex composite Spitfire, based on the fuselage of RR232, and owned by Peter Sledge. The original RR232 was built at Castle Bromwich as an H.F.IX (Merlin 70) and had been taken on charge by No 45 MU, Kinloss, exactly 40 years earlier. After a period on display in Australia it was sold to Charles Church during 1985 and arrived in the UK in January 1987. Due to having been restored as a static exhibit many parts were removed and used in other projects before the hulk was bought by Martin Phillips for restoration to fly. (Photo by Peter Anderson).

Vickers photo supplied to me over 60 years ago. I believe that the pilot was Jeffrey Quill - the "QJ-J" code was applied in his honour when the aircraft was owned by Vickers. The date is an estimate.

Built in 1945, SOC at Woodvale in July 1954 and displayed at Hucknall until August 1957 when moved for display at RAF Andover. Allocated maintenance serial 7758M and moved to Benson in 1962. The aircraft then had mixed fortunes for many years being used as a parts source in the Battle of Britain film, as a traveling exhibit with 71MU at Bicester, as a gate guard at Benson and several years in storage with the RAF Museum at various locations. Restored at Cosford in 2010 and loaned for display in Kuwait in 2013, returning to Cosford in 2019.
