It has taken an American,to realise the importance of saving the
memory of one of this countries greatest aircraft designers-
R.J.Mitchell,to this end millionaire Sidney Frank is donating a
large sum of money towards the setting up of a memorial fund in his
name,what the fund will be used for is not known at this early
stage ?,but it is certainly a move in the right direction.
Like many I believe that R.J.Mitchell should have received a
posthumous award years ago for his work on the Spitfire,it is an
insult to give awards to pop stars and the like,then forget a person
who saved this country from tyranny with a unique design that
evolved at just the right time in history.
Doctor Mitchell is delighted with the news of the fund but will
still strive to get R.J the award that he truly deserves,for the
sake of history this just must happen.
