What if, if, if ... we acquired a Mk V Spitfire to restore ... what would be the top five things we should understand before going into this possible endeavor (other than cost, debt, materials, delight, and forever!) For example Billy said "magnesium rivets" which I would have never thought about.
This is a dream since my Great Uncle flew a Spitfire for the RAF out of Malta (DFC) and my IA friend R-2 is drooling right now!
