The story of the dispersal of the production of Spitfires is, in itself, interesting – but it also a strong reminder of how limited the story Southampton tells about its past is. The obsession with the Titanic (which for some reason is especially marketable to Cruise travellers when if any group of tourists would seem unlikely to want to hear about lost of a ship you’d have thought it was these – but no…) eclipses almost every other narrative – even when the ability to claim to be the birth place of the iconic Spitfire would be a gift to the marketing department.
Somehow even the library hasn’t purchased a copy of this book for the local history section…
