They could lend the Albatros D.Va and RE8 back to shuttleworth while the work is ongoing. They were flying two years ago, i doubt they would need much work to get them airworthy again.
I heard somewhere that a Spitfire burns about a gallon of fuel a minute. A spitfire IX holds around 115 gallons of fuel and 5 gallons of oil, fully loaded. AVGAS is around £2-3 per litre. And on top of that are maintenance costs.
I echo DCW’s comments and thank all of those who have provided us with regular Duxford Updates throughout this year. I have a feeling 2014 will be another great year for aviation enthusiasts like ourselfs.
A happy new year to you all! 🙂
