Well you could argue that Mark. As you can see in my post above the actual cost of a Spitfire Mk.I was nearly twice that of the "fund price".
But then fund and presentation aircraft were often "invented" for press visits, with random airframes being given hasty artwork from the ground crews to portray a particular fund or presentation aircraft.
Such is war and the issue of public morale.
