The Spitfire
Code Name: LDC-H-SP
Blueprint Notes
Few aircraft evoke emotion like the Spitfire. With its elliptical wings and agile form, it became an icon of British resilience during World War II. This card honours the Spitfire not only as a machine of war, but as a symbol of courage, craft, and elegance.
Personal Bond
The Spitfire holds a special place in my story. I learned to fly in the UK at Biggin Hill, an airfield with a strong Royal Air Force history and home to many of the Spitfires that defended Britain. On rare days, I’d catch sight of one, on the runway or overhead. A very special moment.
