[Fot] Group 44 Spitfire?

[DAVE HOGYE]

The main tubes of the roll cage look similar.  It would be good to compare the bars and mounting plates which are welded on in the blue 41.

They normally ran number 44 or 4, occasionally 41 if there was a number conflict, but with their own distinctive trademark numerals (with rounded corners). And the number on the back deck was always backwards.
