I recently took a friend of mine down to Duxford who went up in Carolyn's Spitfire and I was lucky enough to spend the day with this most incredible lady. Baldie Man, you obviously don't know anything about the history of this Spitfire and what it took to get this thing back in the air. I personally think that the £1500ish is superb value for money, knowing how much it costs to keep it flying. Especially seeing as though it visits most air displays due to it being one of only two 2 seater Spitfires left in the world.
My advice to you would be to have a little look into the history of this machine, the late Mr Grace and the very current Mrs Grace. You will then change your tune.
