<p>To put this figure into an economic perspective, just three years later in 1926 the average house cost £619, or £35,968.92 in modern cash. This makes the Castle Class nine times as expensive as a house!<br />
<br />
Taking the average value of £290,000 from 2016 and multiplying it by nine gives us £2,610,000. This is just under the £3m it cost to construct Tornado.</p>
