Spitfire Country
A typical scene from a bright August morning in that momentous summer of 1940.
Having climbed into the dawn sky at daybreak, the Spitfires of No 603 Squadron
have already been in action, and with more heavy raids on the plotters table,
they scurry back to Biggin Hill to re-arm and refuel. A Messerschmitt Me109,
shot down during the previous days fighting, lies discarded in a hay field, its
lucky pilot having escaped with his life. Meanwhile, the beautiful Kent
countryside comes awake as it prepares for the toils of another glorious summers
day. |
