The Fw 190s supremacy over the Spitfire V is a classic legend from the Second World War, heralding one of the darkest times for Fighter Command & the RAF.

A Tale of Ten Spitfires brings this legend to life by examining the individual combat histories of ten Spitfire VCs, the first of which is the Shuttleworth Collection’s well known Spitfire AR501, followed by the next nine on the production line, AR502 to AR510.

This link to a ‘living’ airframe, whose first flight after a lengthy restoration is imminent, provides an ideal hook for the enthusiast & also members of the wider public with a more general interest in this classic British icon.

By the time we get it, the food itself has little value in terms of nutrition & we just can't afford the cost in greenhouse gases any more. The problem is that nobody taught us about the intricacies of our local seasons & how they produce much more flavoursome & very much healthier eating. Carolyn explains everything here. ...
