Man spent over 20 years restoring Spitfire aircraft in UK garage; project sells for £18,000

Its owner, Peter Arnold, had spent decades collecting aircraft remains and putting together pieces of aviation history. But he never got to see his final project sold. Arnold died in 2025, aged 83, and on October 8, this year, the unfinished aircraft fuselage fetched £18,000 at an auction in England.
