Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I X4843

All that remains of the Spitfire crashed on Yr Aran are these few scraps.
These are less still than Matt ZX saw only as far back as April.
This piece of perspex, and chunk of armour plate have been taken from the site since then.
If you click on the pic and zoom in , you can see that the plate is marked with the year of manufacture, 1940.
Interestingly, I am told that the missing bits apparently feature in the photos of the crash site on the PDAAR website, which were taken very shortly before we visited.
