Thinking about it logically means they're arguing over a lot of crushed, bulldozed rubbish pushed into a handy pit nearly seventy years ago. Not completely surprized by a falling out between the parties when the old greed glands get so much stimulation.
I note this article now puts the number of buried Spits at sixty!! I am laugh.

Actually in an interview with AVweb, the number has risen to 124.
If true, and I'm not taking a stand either way, this would crash the world market for Spitfires. Can you imagine being at an airshow and seeing so many Spits that it would actually be boring? Sort of like Ferraris in California.

I'll pass.
Not enough room in my garage, and have you priced 100 LL AVGAS lately?

Early war, Commonwealth fighter squadrons would typically have 12 aircraft operational as Initial Equipment (IE) with an additional 6 as Immediate Reserve (IR). Anecdotal evidence is that BoB squadrons sometimes had as many as 12 aircraft as Immediate Reserve (IR) due to the high attrition rate. Late war, Commonwealth fighter squadrons would often have 18 aircraft operational plus a reserve.
