If you haven't noticed yet from my profile, I absolutely love Spitfires. My profile picture is me sitting in what I believe is the best spitfire restoration ever completed - "Marion" Mk. Vb YOD BL628 - the Spitfire my Grandfather flew back in 1942. You'll find lots of great information on Spitfires here as well as other great information and resources.
