If the Science Museum can give it a good (free) home for a few months then everyone concerned benefits. There were also displays of individual components, pilots notes, WW2 memorabilia etc.

It was more complete before the exhibition - the fin is the only bit that looks the same as it did last year! In fact looking elswhere, only the right side of the fuselage has been stripped...

Interestingly, being a South Marston Spitfire, it hails from the same place as Honda Civics and CRVs...
