"Spitfire Country"

ORIGINAL PENCIL ILLUSTRATION by Nicolas Trudgian

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 day¹s 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 summer's day.
