Please can anyone provide any recent information on the location and status of Spitfire XVI s/n SL542. The best I can find is transported to Germany in 2019.

Thanks

You'll need to ask PeterA I guess, but he may not be able to share the details of course...

I believe that it spent a short while at Enstone, Oxfordshire if it’s the one I am thinking of before going to Germany.

A message in this Keypublishing Forum thread has a photo showing the fuselage at Enstone in 2014: https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-avi ... ward-bound
