Today marks 90 years since the first flight of the Spitfire!
On 5th March 1936, Captain Joseph ‘Mutt’ Summers piloted the first Supermarine Spitfire prototype, K5054, from Eastleigh Aerodrome After just eight minutes in the air, he famously declared, “Don’t change a thing.”
It’s 90 years to the day since the first flight of the Spitfire. Let’s celebrate with these archive images of the Red Arrows flying with various examples of the aviation icon.
