Er, Double Zero, I didn't mention a Spitfire replica, the K5054 replica at Tangmere was built by Aerofab in the 1990s. THe Hurricane replica was built in the Andover area slightly earlier and, as I said, had nothing to do with the film.

The 5054 replica you refer to has having a landing accident was Clive Du Cros's wooden, full size, Jaguar engined example that is now hauled around the country for events in camo finish.

Tangmere Hurricane replica/Battle of Britain film didn't happen

K5054 replicas irrelevant

There was an incident of one 'ground use only' Spitfire getting airborne during this film, but it was not made of wood and did not have a Jaguar engine
