Rob,
I take it you noticed the pilot of the Spitfire was a lady born in Australia.

The article mentions the Spitfire Memoial being built in Southhampton. Was mentioned in the newspaper here today and the design is very impressive with a flying Spitfire design. Did a quick search but can't find an image online. No prizes for guessing where the designer of the memorial comes from ???!!!

Regards
Brett

just a mirror back to WWII when many female pilots were used moving around these fighters and Hurricanes to squadrons all over the country.

Must be a thrill to fly a Spit!

Rob, what does the title of your thread mean?

Sorry Brad, Saints is a nickname for Southampton (mostly their football team) where the Spitfires were built.
