I am watching a documentary on Amazon about the aircraft. I like the human factor that they put in the stories.

There is a Spitfire that was ferried from the Factory to the active airfields. Anyway, a Ms Mary Wilkins (Air delivered back in 1944. The Spitfire in question never saw combat and is about 98% original and still air worthy.

Ms Wilkins happened to sign her name in the cockpit of the plane. The plane survives to this day. They took her out to the airfield and flew the plane in for her to see. It seemed to make her day.

I am guessing that the program was made in 2017 as she passed away in July 2018 at the age of 101. She delivered over 1,000 aircraft from the factory of which over 400 were spitfires.

A little bit of history. I thought it was pretty neat.
