Can anyone predict at the current rate of resurrection what year we will be on when we get 20,351 Survivors?

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind a little follow-up volume – perhaps even as a little booklet in one of the mags?

I do remember a great one years ago that listed all the flyable examples. Had it for years.

Mark12. Perhaps you and Gordon could add updates to a website that is for subscribers only. £10? per year. The website could have a bulletin board for subscribers to discuss spitfire news 🙂

Is it something you’ll make available? I have both volumes & would be nice to print off updates to go with them every now & then.

You would be surprised at the amount of ‘Spitfire activity’ since Volume I in 2011.

The wing from Orkney for starters…

I think you mean 24hrs (or less ?) Robert, as my copies went for a mere £180.

Its a fantastic record giving a picture of all the Spitfires at the publication date.
I will never be selling my copies. (Perhaps my son will .. well into the future!) May pay for a couple of days in the Retirement Home.

Ah yes, I suppose any new print run requires an update. Well I hope you kept some copies back off yourself. Nice pension pot! 😉

Not a chance.

It actually needs updating.

Is £250 reasonable? That’s how much it is going for on amazon.
