Wings, Roundels and Flights - Regions and Roundels, A New Venture For The Society http://www.spitfiresociety.com/Wings_Roundels_Flights/Home.html A Message from our chairman Sqn.Ldr Leonard Dickson LVO. The Society built up it's membership very quickly in the early days and the country was divided into Regions with a Regional Chairman who formed up a committee in the area. Even with this development, it was always difficult to engage members across a Region closely with the Society distances were too great for regular meetings over such widely dispersed areas. 25th Anniversary AGM http://www.spitfiresociety.com/news_event/content/25th_anniversary_AGM.html April 25th 2009 at the Shuttleworth Trust, Old Warden Airfield, Bedfordshire - for further information about this anniversary event, please click on the link above.
