Okay, I’ve been saving up for Christmas and I have exactly £1.36. Now if I wanted to buy, say a static, fully restored Spitfire or Hurricane what would the price be?
Off course, I don’t have enough dosh and probably never will, but how much does a static and fully airworthy Spitfires and Hurricanes cost these days?

And some people probably believed them.

There was an article in Pilot recently about buying a Spitfire which gave some figures….

… – so maybe time to talk to the wife nicely!
If you had done that from day one, she might have been the one buying you a Spitfire.
Ouch!

Rough guess hey!
Maybe you could SWAP something instead… like at school.. rather than paying for a Spitfire!
Can’t think what I could offer in exchange though… my girlfriend in quite nice but she likes me and might take offence… and my parents quite like their house too, so no luck there. Hmm… might be best to start saving up I think!
Although I am presently in India… spending my time looking behind old technical universities… that sort of thing… 😉
Good Luck – Find me a Spitfire, please – I’ll swap it for (quickly thinks) – a quarter of Jelly babies – Oh Goodie.
