This print captures the historic moment when squadron leader John Hobbs skillfully landed a Supermarine Spitfire at Usworth Airport for the Sunderland Flying Club's exhilarating air display. Steeped in rich aviation history, this particular aircraft holds an impressive legacy as it was once piloted by two Battle of Britain aces, Douglas Bader and Johnnie Johnson. The year was 1967, and amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the swinging sixties, spectators were treated to a mesmerizing showcase of aerospace prowess. The sleek silhouette of the Spitfire stood tall against the backdrop of Usworth's bustling airfield, its propeller gleaming under the warm June sun.
