here we go another bit of useless trivia for the price of 1 F35B (£98.5 millionish) you could have bought 140 spitfire Mk 1's (£12,604 in 1938 = roughly (£0.7 million today) I know what I would rather have but there again I'm old and out of touch. On a more serious note it highlights the problem equipping the modern air force, capital vaule of the current miserably few assets is probably similar to that of the force in 1939
