Hi Paul
Papa Lima might be able to give info on this a/c. I seem to recall having some discussion with him about surviving PR IV's in his neck of the woods.

Flypast I am afraid have got this a little wrong.
BP923 is being restored in Sweden by Sven Kindblom.
BP926 is another Russian PR Mk IV project now in the UK.

I am now very confused
This is a tale of 3 Spitfires
BP923
BP926
BP929
It appears BP923 is the one under restoration in Sweden
(But was previous provisionally Id' as BP929 (the latter in a photo here: http://www.spitfire-pr4.com/)
Also see:
http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?t=57386
I note same photo here now is referenced as BP923
http://ktsorens.tihlde.org/flyvrak/vaddasgaisa.html
BP926 is the 'new one' to someone who I now know has a middle name Richard
And of BP929 who knows ?

"BP929" is actually BP923, not only by further inspection and interpretation of the pencil marks under the data but also and simply as time has moved on...that is what the Russians say it is, Solovkin etc in their records.

Two PR IV's who could ever have thought about that.
The most anticipated book ever, and as soon as it's
out, it's obsolete within weeks.;)
Can't wait.

Two! Two!
Actually eight, including projects, surface crash remains and pilot memorials with associated parts.
All in the book.

Mark,
Of those eight, how many of those will become full blown projects?
Don't have the book yet, so I can only ask.;)
