The order came through on May 23, 1940 for Flight Officer Peter Cazenove to head for RAF Hornchurch, Essex in his aircraft for a briefing before heading for France to intercept German Bombers. His flight into enemy territory did not last long. He was shot done 55 minutes after take off from Hornchurch, and crash landed on a beach near Calais. Forty years after, his Supermarine Spitfire P9374 re-emerged from the muddy coastine, and now it has been painstakingly rebuilt by the Aircraft Restoration Company. In the year that Supermarine Spitfire is making its 75th anniversary.
