Whether it=E2=80=99s 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 i=
ntroduced safety and emission specs effective 1 Jan 1968. Consequently, the N=
A spec commission number became FDU while other markets stayed with FD. Grea=
tly doubt the BMIHT Cert is wrong as they use original microfilmed productio=
n tallies and copies of the original shipping invoice.
