Aircraft & Exhibits, SEP 1940-FEB 1944, London, Hangar Three/Four, 78/A/872
More than any other aircraft, the Spitfire has become a much-loved symbol of winning against the odds. Designed by RJ Mitchell, its speed, agility and firepower made it one of the RAF's leading fighter aircraft of the Second World War.
Messerschmitt Bf 109E
Aircraft & Exhibits, 1940-1943, London, Hangar Three/Four, 78/A/624
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the Luftwaffe's principal fighter aircraft during the Battle of Britain. It could outclimb and outgun the RAF's Hurricanes and Spitfires. However, its limited range allowed pilots only 20 minutes flying time during raids over south-east England.
