So, dear Santa Gates, if you're all out of Aston Martins, I'd really
like a Spitfire and a few lessons on how to get the beast both into

How cool would that be?!
Plenty cool. You might enjoy

The Spitfire was my favorite airplane when I was growing up during WW
II.
To all a good night.
Brill.
Maybe I should add that I grew up within a few miles of Biggin Hill and
that when I wanted the R.A.F. to teach me to fly, it was to this famous
place, with a Spitfire and a Hurricane at the entrance that the
universities program directed my shortsighted and thus thoroughly
rejectable self.
One day, maybe.
