The necessary Aeronautical Inspection Directorate's Certificate had been issued, and so the Spitfire was ready for the first flight. There has been much debate upon the exact date that this flight took place, although the Spitfire historian Alfred Price uncovered a hand written report of the expenditure on the Spitfire program dated February 29, 1936, amounting to $25,414, on which is hand written "flown March 5, 1936."
