An event happened yesterday 5th March 68Yrs ago ,only 9 miles away from me, on a small airfeild that was to change world war II history. Apart from a small congregation and a few small news clips this event has gone all but unnoticed.
'WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT ??' I here you shout.
Im talking about the first flight of the 'Spitfire'
I thought it such a shame that this event went by with hardly a sound that I had to say something.
At least the local people ,some of which worked on the Spitfires h.ere during the war ,have placed a memorial to the fact.
There was supposed to be a Spitfire flyover at the memorial unveiling , but it was grounded due to fog 'pfft'
Ok gripe done
This is Reginald Mitchells son standing next to the memorial.
