@UnitedKingdomify I'm not British, but I know exactly what you mean. What I've always thought is that the plane is so beautiful, so graceful I almost have to keep reminding myself it was one of the deadliest fighters of the war. It almost seems too beautiful to be a weapon!

A true British icon, one of the greatest machines to ever grace our skies.

I love that first scene of "First of the Few" where RJ Mitchell is sketching a bird. He had to have been the most brilliant aircraft designer in history. Tragic that he died so young. Who knows what he would have come up with after the war. Imagine a Supermarine transatlantic airliner.

How much to buy a spitfire as of today?
It's not a Merlin, it's a Griffon!!

No, I checked the registration numbers and this model is a Spitfire H.F.IXE, and uses a Merlin 70 Engine. While there are Griffon engined Spitfires still flying, this one is running a Merlin.
