Spitfire
Supermarine Spitfire fighter par excellence,
Pride of a nation still after all these years,
Image of a battle that still resonates today,
Timeless icon of the best of British design,
Finding fame as a fighter but so much more,
Inspiring schoolboy dreams for generations,
Roaring into life with Merlin and Griffon engines,
Even dog-fighting with a Lightning once.
