I can recommend the Battle of Britain museum at Hawkinge!
A spitfire i dug out in a field near Sandwich back in the early eighties, is exhibited up there, well the engine block and other bits are there.... the engine was 25ft down.

I didn't realise just how tight the cockpits of spits are but I had the oppurtunity to sit in a replica Mark 9 a few weeks ago, it really hit home just how hard it would be to get out of one of the plane was on fire or severely damaged!
RIP to all that gave their lives!
Thank you for your sacrifice!
