Once again we pay tribute to the courageous men and women who flew, maintained and built this superb aeroplane in the defence of Australia.

For the next two months we'll release another series of biographies and stories that we hope members and people visiting our website and Facebook page will find engaging and relevant. We will feature the men and women of the Spitfire Generation, their own stories and the fond memories of their loving families. We'll feature interviews from senior military, government and industry leadership. We'll also bring you updates from the Spitfire fellows, the incredible people who keep Australian technology on the cutting edge.

The series culminates in a once-a-generation gala dinner, under the Spitfires at Temora Aviation Museum.

See the 60th Anniversary Dinner page to reserve your seats.
