I remember going to Leeming way back in about '78 before this craze for replica Spitfire Gate Guards. They had one there; apparently (or so I was told) the station master had ordered the mainspar be cut through to stop anyone trying to restore it to flying condition.
Sacrilege!!

Isn't PK624 currently in large shiny pieces, propping up the walls in the Science Museum?
