BDAC is very proud to be awarded the Little Treasures of Britain Award for 2019 from Group Travel Organiser magazine. What a fantastic experience and a brilliant night. Thank you everyone in your continued support over the past 7 years!
As a tribute to D-Day 75, we have taken a highlight from our film to show how people felt when they realised D-Day had started with skies covered in aeroplanes. We all owe so much to that generation for what they had to do. Thank you for our freedom. facebook.com/SecretSpitfires…
What a lovely sight for all to see and remember what this beautiful aircraft represents.

Another one of the heroines of the Secret Spitfire factories, Joan Burrough, has sadly passed away. Many who have seen the film will remember her as the young girl who volunteered to work at Chattis Hill. May she Rest In Peace, our deepest condolences to her family and friends.
Great restoration project of AA810 Spitfire built at Vincents Secret Factory READING which featured in our Secret Spitfires documentary. We visited the project centre with Norman last year. Good luck to the team who are restoring it to fly, can’t wait to see it in the sky again!
As 2018 ends we wanted to let you know of all the amazing people we have now lost who told us their incredible stories for our Secret Spitfires film. We had recently posted the sad news of our Bette who passed away & today had the sad news that Reading boy Peter has passed away.
Our wonderful secret factory worker Bette passed away early this morning. She was a perfect speaker for all those workers who gave so much for our freedom. Many will remember her from our film where she had audiences laughing and then cry with her stories of life during the war.
