Hello everyone,
I'll take responsibility for the mis-statement of Spitfire production
numbers as John has pointed out. It was written by a volunteer for
the North American Triumph Challenge next month to hype the Spitfire
rebuild. The guy lives and breathes Spitfires. But in the end, it's
my fault as I edit and assemble the monthly (almost) VTR eUpdate. I
need a fact checker! From now on it's gonna be Mr. Macartney! :)
Thanks for noticing John, at least I know you're reading it!
