Supermarine Spitfire

As an aviation engineer I have always greatly admired the Spitfire and with
this reel design I hope to honour its inspirational creators and their genius!

“The Spitfire was a thing of beauty to behold, in the air or on the ground, with the graceful lines of its slim fuselage, its elliptical wing and tailplane. It looked like a fighter, and it certainly proved to be just that in the fullest meaning of the term. It was an aircraft with a personality all of its own — docile at times, swift and deadly at others — a fighting machine ‘par excellence’. It was the finest and, in its days of glory, provided the answer to the fighter pilot’s dream — a perfect combination of all the good qualities required in a truly outstanding fighter aircraft. Once you’ve flown a Spitfire, it spoils you for all other fighters. Every other aircraft seems imperfect in one way or another.”

 – Lieutenant Colonel William R. Dunn, Eagle Squadron, Royal Air Force
