Product Description

(C) indicates this product is guaranteed to have a limited edition certificate.

By early March of 1936 the prototype, K5054, had completed the ground trials and engine run-up tests and the necessary Aeronautical Inspection Directorate's Certificate had been issued and so The Spitfire was ready for the first flight. There has been much debate upon the exact date that this flight took place although the Spitfire historian Alfred Price uncovered a hand written report of the expenditure on the Spitfire programme dated 29 February 1936 amounting to -ú14,637 on which is hand written "flown 5 March 1936".
