It‘s also been mine ever since being a young boy reading the Biggles books. Yes it is very expensive but I am very lucky as it is a birthday present. It is a 45 min flight to Beachy Head with a victory roll etc. included. I will also be able to take control at some stage so I am practising at the moment with the FlyingIron Simulations Spitfire in msfs2020 in VR. The whole experience is about 2 hours see https://flyaspitfire.com/
