I'm pretty sure that Rod Dean used to display her at shows in the mid-80s, before Doug Arnold and Spencer Flack let him loose on Mustangs and the like... You probably know he's with the CAA these days...
Seem to remember there was a wheels up at one point in her career as well. I can recall seeing her at Elstree for the first time, and thinking "small... but perfectly formed!"
Good luck with your quest.

FokkerWokker, who posts in this forum quite often, used to own a share in G-WULF in the early/mid 80s. He bought Spencer Flack's share, and displayed the aircraft for about 2-3 seasons before becoming one of the B-17 pilots.
He should see your request for info before too long.

Not much help, I know, but there is a shot of G-WULF (not sure who's flying - possibly Mike himself) in formation with Spencer Flack's Spitfire XIV NH904/G-FIRE (being flown by Ken Whitehead) in one of Jeremy Flack's Spitfire books. Great shot, but makes you wonder just how much throttle the Spit jockey was using to stay with him!!
