For sure very nice photo!! I could get in touch with the seller and agreed on a price for this one and three additional ones. Regrettably I can't share them because the buy was a joint acquisition between my own project and the project Spitfire AA810 - Restoring Sandy's Spitfire. However, I have posted one of the others photos on my own project FB page: Spitfire PR IB N3069 - Remembering F/O Mervyn Wheatley.

So sorry for my delayed reply though...I've been so occupied with my project that I spent far to little time on this forum.
