The distinctive silhouette against the clouds and the spinetingling roar of
its engine caused thousands of young boys to look skywards.

Many dreamed of one day flying a Spitfire, the aircraft credited with helping
to win the Battle of Britain.

Now, more than 60 years after its starring role in World War II, anyone with
£130,000 in loose change and a double-garage can have their very own
version of the iconic fighter plane.

Already 22 of the almost life-size aluminium kits have been snapped up by
flying enthusiasts eager to experience the thrill of piloting the world's most
famous fighter plane.

Those planes where well known in the states too. Didn't Churchill say, "We have two hurrah for every Spit." ?
