A fully-functioning Second World War Spitfire is up for sale and could be yours if you have a spare £2 million.

It’s the first of its kind to be offered at public auction for more than 20 years and has been painstakingly restored to airworthiness over a five-year period.

Originally it was a single-seater but it’s been refitted to take a passenger.

The Supermarine-designed aircraft was built by the British Vickers-Armstrong company in 1944, then delivered to the Royal Air Force at Lyneham in Wiltshire before being sold in 1948 to the South African Air Force.
