Well for a start I would buy a decent sized airfield somewhere

Then I would secure an example of as many marks of Spitfire/Seafire as I could lay my grubby hands on.....

The HFL Mk.XVIII (SM845) would then become mine in an instant. Might take their new Mk.XIV as well :-)

The PoF Contra-rotating Mk.XIX definately - sorry to the purists but this is an awesome beast and I would just HAVE to have it.

Would also need a standard Mk.XIX for comparison, maybe PM651 in RAFM storage

Would get one of the ex-Burmese Mk.XV Seafires - something about this mark

Of course I would also have examples of the "baby" Spits as well, the II, V, VIII, IX, and XVI

Oh and I would also get a scratch-built Spiteful made to complete the stable.

All would be airworthy, of course :-)

And I would learn to fly them all

Ok dream over, need a cold shower now......

p.s. BTW did I mention I like Spitfires !!
