Re: British Aircraft costs
According to The Times (London) January 4th 1941 the "Edinburgh Fighter Aircraft Fund" had reached "£61,968" ... "and yesterday names were chosen for the 12 aeroplanes which this money will buy."
I also seem to recall that when a town purchased a Spitfire, they had to raise £5,000.
I have heard one figure for a finished Whitley bomber being in the region of £25,000. I should be most interested to know the figure?
