FUnny thing just happened after reading this-
one of my neighbours started chatting to me while I was polishing Nigel-turns
out that the guy he works for just sold his Spitfire- $1.3 million! Turns out,
I've seen this one before. We were talking about these "new" Supermarine
Spitfires they're turning out. He said that his boss is now looking for a
Mustang-the kind with a prop! And he's building a sailing ship! (And we'd all
been on the same sailing ship this past December!)
But the tie in with the Spitfire was neat.
Laura G.-waiting for my ship to come in!
