The collection for this spitfire was one of many made throughout towns and villages in the UK and Commonwealth throughout World War 2, and Accy, Church etc were no exception. The general term used was The Spitfire Fund, and the monies raised in donations directly from peoples pockets enabled the government to vastly ncrease the numbers of "spits" built.

What would be interesting would be to find the actual combat history of this plane, and even more interesting, who was the pilot, where was he from, and is he still alive?
