Which Spitfire?

Earlier tonight I was at a concert at Arundel Festival which featured a display by a late-mark Spitfire, coded ZD B and a Messerschmitt (which looked like a Bf109, but I suspect was the Me108 :think: ), anyone know which these were and where they were operating from (my guess would be Goodwood/Westhampnett)?

The Spit could well have been this one.

Belongs to the Old Flying Machine Company at Duxford.

Not sure about the German machine.

How was the Me painted - desert colours or grey?

The Spit was MH434 from your desription...

Fairly certain we've correctly identified the Spit now - coincidentally the same one that was in the episode of Poirot last week. I think the Me was desert colours.

Perhaps Real Aeroplane Company's Hispano BuchÃ³n?

Just like this (image from Airscene.org.uk)?

If so, it's a Nord 1002, the French built Me/Bf108

HC, I have seen that one before and ordinarily assume that what I saw, but I can help but think it looked more like the one Tom posted... :think:
