Another interesting Spitfire news this month is the excavation conducted by Warplane Wreck Investigation Group in Birkenhead Park, Liverpool. Apparently the Merlin engine was retrieved in very good condition, together with parts of the fuselage. The aircraft was a Spitfire Mk. IIA which failed to return from the test flight from Hawarden, North Wales on October 14, 1942. The pilot parachuted safely.
