Reunion of Spitfire Workers - Celebrating the Unsung Heroes of WWII
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this heartwarming print captured by the Birmingham Post and Mail Archive, we witness a remarkable reunion that transcends time. Gathered in Newhall Street, central Birmingham during July 1986, these extraordinary women proudly stand together once again. Their shared bond? Assembling the wings of the iconic British fighter planes - the legendary Spitfires - during World War II. Transporting us back to the 1940s, this snapshot unveils their dedication and resilience as they worked tirelessly at a factory where they were all single girls. Seven days a week, for a mere £4 wage including bonuses, these unsung heroes played an instrumental role in defending their nation's skies. Now elderly but forever spirited, these women embody strength and friendship that has withstood decades. The aviation industry owes them immeasurable gratitude for their contribution to flight history. Serving under the Royal Air Force (RAF) banner and working with Supermarine aircraft company, they helped shape one of Britain's most celebrated military achievements. This image serves as a poignant reminder of their invaluable service during World War II; it encapsulates not only their individual stories but also represents countless other women war workers who made similar sacrifices on behalf of our freedom. As we gaze upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, let us honor these brave souls who defied societal norms and left an indelible mark on history through their unwavering commitment to duty
