The RAF's latest (and only) Air-Defence Fighter.A rare restored Supermarine Spitfire has been sold at auction for £1.7m - the highest amount ever for one of the famous aircraft.
Discovered in a scrapyard in the 1970's, the legendary plane has been completely restored to airworthiness and is cleared for flight.
The auctioneers refused to comment on the identity of the buyer, but our sources have indicated that the Spitfire has been purchased by the Royal Air Force, so that they actually have ONE working plane with which to defend UK airspace.
