Always love me a photo of a Supermarine Spitfire.
Hi GB. If you haven’t caught the movie “Spitfire” then do so…! IT’s absolutely marvelous, as it isn’t a documentary (although it does tell the story of R J Mitchell and the creation of the Spitfire from the Schneider Tropy winning Supermarine S5 racing floatplane etc. It has great footage with people who flew the plane, including the ATA ladies who of course are now abt 100yo, Well worth catching. Cheers
I’ll for sure look out for it.
