The Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb adoption is guaranteed to wow any aviation fan on Christmas morning! One hundred and forty RAF squadrons operated the type and it served on all battlefronts including gunfire support for naval units on the D-Day beaches of Normandy. This legend of the sky is sure to make your gift a hard one to beat! A hangar at Enstone Airfield in Oxfordshire is where the magic is happening. Each rivet, each wing strut and every engine is lovingly worked by the highly skilled team, whose work you'll be sponsoring when you adopt a Spitfire through Into The Blue. Designed by R.J. Mitchell, then head of design at Supermarine Aviation Works in 1928, the Spitfire was in continuous production throughout the war efforts; over 20,000 planes, all with varying wing configurations, were made between 1938 and 1948.Quite simply - unlike any other flying experience that you'll have been on before or indeed ever will again. Spitfires are so intrinsically woven into the history of military aviation - and that's primarily because of how crucial a role they played during the Battle of Britain as interceptor aircraft by the RAF in the UK and other allied countries during World War II. Inspire the next generation of pioneers by adopting the Amy Johnson Fabric Doll. Amy Johnson was the first female pilot to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930. If you look closely on her sash, you will see some of the record-breaking flights she went on to perform. The perfect adoption for any budding pilot or record breaker! Spitfire hangar tours are available at Enstone Airfield, Oxfordshire (to receive your free tour you must register your gift)
