I wonder who the last person to buy a flying Spitfire is. And how he feels about this. His investment (if he views it as one) has just plummetted.

I do not believe I have ever known anyone with enough money to be a flying Spitfire as a "toy". But- I am guessing he is not worried about having enough for groceries this week.
:D

Steve, the sort of person who can own and fly a Spitfire isn't worried about the financial loss of another 50 or so suddenly coming on to the market, but the uniqueness of him owning a flying Spitfire will now be tainted somewhat by the possibilty of all his mates being able to have one too. :P :lol: :lol:

Vinnie-
you make a good point there-

Whining Billionaires aside- more Spitfires is a good thing. :D

Ahh well, seems it was all a myth now and the dig has officially been called off :(

Would have been nice but I guess it was always a long shot, even if they had found some their condition would most likely have been far from good.

I'm sticking to the theory that somebody is playing chess with this one. They're out there somewhere! :lol:
