A truly graceful lady in both senses of the expression.

Anniversary duly celebrated by assuming the "couch potato" position and watching "First of the Few" followed by "Battle of Britain" on DVD. If only I'd had the foresight to get a bottle or three of Spitfire Ale in, MrsC and I could have toasted the event properly.

Historically speaking, it was the first flight of the Supermarine Fighter F.7/30 (modified.) The Air Ministry wouldn't let them use the name "Spitfire" unless ("and if" as someone added to the wording of the letter) the company received an official order. This meant that the naming was delayed until 10-6-36 (I'm just showing off about my latest find in Kew, that's all.) :coolio:
