The โ€˜434 was sold to an auction in 1983 and remains one of the most famous and authentic Spitfire planes in the world. In fact, sheโ€™s the only flying Spitfire to date to have been fully restored.ย 

We have to say, we absolutely adore the gorgeous sound of the Spitfire. What an absolute beauty she is!
