Wishing you all a #HappyNewYear and to celebrate here is a short piece about the High Speed Spitfire. The Spitfire Mk I was chosen to take on the World Air Speed Record of 440.5 mph which had been set in October 1934. Image credit: pinterest.com/pgfrost/spitfi…

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.
