This Spitfire was sold off and exported from Australia last year (much to many people disappointment) and had 4 propeller blades before it left and it been reported that now in UK, 2 propeller blades were sawn off the airframe.

Sorry for the travels of the A/C but there probably isn't a great deal genuine or even original in this one, maybe it's not even LZ844.
Some History here-

Fus part seemed to be 20% of complete fuselage and they built it from there. AC damaged in 43 and converted to spares in 44. Left to rot and a small portion of a fuselage was recovered in the 70s. Photo here halfway down-

Mk V had a 3 bladed prop originally so this 4 blade prop wasn't Spitfire as it was from a Barracuda.
With the new owner it has a chance to be resurrected to operational status.

Well Liberator, the Spitfire was going home,after all it was built in England originally,so couldn't have been Australian really.Other than that though I don't understand the point you are making with your post,could you explain further please.

You started trouble with this over at the Key forums. Don't bring it here. Locked!
