This Spitfire wing was obtained us by Hucknall and delivered direct to the Clan Foundry. As far as we know it was the only article in the consignment delivered here. We do not know the name and address of the senders. It is quite possible that this wing was not booked in to the Factory before being delivered here. We are agreeable to paying the £10 for carriage.
