Updated 30 April - The short life of a Spitfire pilot
Today we have a significant new addition to the History and Operations section.
Readers may remember last year's news story about Scottish Spitfire pilot Russell Lyon who was killed over France during World War II and whose crash site and grave were discovered only recently. Thanks to the effort of Mr. Richard Lyon, the pilot's nephew, we can now present a full story about Russell's career as a combat pilot and that fateful day of 27th July 1944.
