I Saw a Spitfire (of sorts) today

Driving through Thornton Hough this morning to see my mum in Liverpool, I came across the locals setting up for a village fete. Parked outside the smithy opposite the village green I saw this!

Only having a camera phone on me and being a bit pushed for time, these were the only images I was able to get. Hope you like them!

The low loader behind it is how it arrived. As I was leaving the plane was moved across the road to the green to take its place by a line of vintage cars. Just for Edgar, yes it it had the dreaded red crowbar!

Does anyone have any info on this? It was well made and as you can see from the cockpit ready to go.

Cheers!

Been around for a while these, and well known to anybody in the LAA. Doesn't look too bad in the air (but doesn't sound right) but on the ground it just looks wrong.

Would you believe that it's a two seater? Pretty cramped in the back, though...

There's a company producing kits of the Mustang now, too:
