Last Spitfire Built.

Indeed!  And the pictures of the assembled line workers, I think, demonstrate how posed was the event to record the 'Last Spitfire'.

The one of the car in the bodyshop, with no wheels and the bonnet up, HAS to be posed!   No other cars in shot!  And anyway, I've seen that reproduced in the Coventry Telegraph (I think) before now.

No debate on the last one started, with the highest VIN.  That's the one at Gaydon.    Gaydon strongly defend thier car's title, I've asked them, but the last off the line?   Quite possibly not.

PS Also note, the lack of the model ID stencil on the front left coner of the bonnet in the original pics.

Colin,

It's deja  vu all over again! If you read this thread from the beginning, JohnD gives a very clear explanation of what you're referring to.

Ops sorry guys.... blame the webpage layout... either that or old age. I came off the production line myself quite a while ago, you know....
