Generous support

A Kent business owner has played a vital part in helping ensure our replica aircraft don't try to emulate their real counterparts by leaving the ground, however strong the winds blow.

Rob Order, from Hodsoll Stree, Kent-based Wire & Fibre Rope Rigging, got in touch with the Trust after reading about the damage caused to our previous replica Spitfire by gale-force winds that blew it off its wheels.

On Valentine's Day he shared the love for our tribute to 'the Few' by replacing some of the tie-down cables on both the Spitfire and Hurricane free of charge, a generous gesture that was much appreciated by the charity.
