    To-day is the 70th anniversary of the Spitfire entering service with the R.A.F.
    Always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck when i hear that familiar growl.

    Indeed a momentous anniversary. The first one to arrive was K9789, to 19 Squadfon

    A true landmark!

    Even if Mitchell didn't like the name chosen for the aircraft.

    Cheers
