[TR] Free Spitfire Mk III FDU8866L) BMIHT Certificate

[John Macartney]

Whether it’s FDU or not? If my memory serves correctly, in August 67 we were building the mk3 Spitfire for Canada and the US to meet the newly introduced safety and emission specs effective 1 Jan 1968. Consequently, the NA spec commission number became FDU while other markets stayed with FD. Greatly doubt the BMIHT Cert is wrong as they use original microfilmed production tallies and copies of the original shipping invoice.
