    Does such a book exist for the Hurricane? 🙂

    “Hurricane at War”, Francis Mason’s “Hurricane”, “Hurricane special” (Ian Allen ). Nothing like the depth of coverage as the Spitfire but no doubt there will be something I’ve missed .

    when at auction you factor in your hammer bid, If they are over zealous with the estimate the bidding will reflect that, I thought chippy price was fair.
    Did not notice the premiums, lets say 20% + Vodka and tonic so on 30 k its £6600 if my math correct total of £36600.00 at bottom end of estimate, Reserve around 28k maybe with auctioneers discretion may pick it up in early 30s

    Yes I realise that, but still pushes the price up Trolly Aux.

    Well the buyer’s premium and VAT will push the price up substantially, that could put a lot off if they are to stay in this country.

    Possibly a Mk 8 or 9, but I dare say someone more knowledgable on here than me could tell you for sure.

    In hopes of giving some perspective. On this coming Thursday it will be ten years since two of my kids died in a car crash. The only good thing to come out of it was gaining a different take on the world afterwards.

    Quit guessing, it won’t help. Quit panicking that folks will over react. Funny part is some of you are doing that very thing.

    Bottom line is we can’t stop living for fear we might die. Sometimes bad things happen.

    Sorry to hear that Dan, that would certainly give a different perspective, and what you’re saying makes good sense.
