[TR] Mea Culpa: Spitfire build quantity

[Blake Discher]

Hello everyone,

I'll take responsibility for the mis-statement of Spitfire production  
numbers as John has pointed out.  It was written by a volunteer for  
the North American Triumph Challenge next month to hype the Spitfire  
rebuild.  The guy lives and breathes Spitfires.  But in the end, it's  
my fault as I edit and assemble the monthly (almost) VTR eUpdate. I  
need a fact checker!  From now on it's gonna be Mr. Macartney!   :)

Thanks for noticing John, at least I know you're reading it!
