Many years ago, 1966?, Triumph had a commercial with the car and the plane. The tagline was "You never forget your first Spitfire".
 
The chap who recently bought The Spitfire Mk.XVI shown below (previously in RAF Dutch Sqn markings). apparently told his wife he was going to buy a Spitfire, and she replied along the lines of "Why do yo want one of those old things ?", thinking he meant the 1960's Triumph Spitfire sports car !!
That said, I had a lot of fun driving a friend's Spitfire in the early 1970's.
