90 years on…
We’re just 3 months away from the anniversary of the first flight of the Spitfire – March 5th, 1936.
We’re looking at various ways to commemorate this day and are wondering if there might still be a few out there who were present on the day?
If you were, or you know someone who was, and you would be happy to share your, or their, recollections of seeing ‘the fighter’ take off for the very first time, please get in touch – either through replies to this post or via the contact page on our website… www.spitfiremakers.org.uk
