'Woodhall Spa is unique.  Markedly different from Lincolnshire’s other beautiful villages, it seems to be on permanent holiday, and has long been known as an inland resort.  John Betjeman and Nikolaus Pevsner remarked on the comfortable affluence of the houses and hotels which looked as though they belonged more to Bournemouth or Droitwich.  The four grand avenues leading into this Main Village are broad, floral and tree lined, and substantial remnants of a planned garden village which grew up at the side of the Spa in the 1890s are in evidence wherever you look.'

Numerous aspects of the iconic fighter's story are depicted, including: the Supermarine racing floatplanes for which monoplane technology was advanced; the very first example of the breed; the type's arrival into RAF service; combat in the Battle of Britain; fighter sweeps to occupied France; its conversion to the photo reconnaissance role and for Naval operations; and even its part in the formation of the RAF's commemorative unit.
