These hairy caterpillars appear at the same time each year and are often seen marching along in a line. Sometimes there are only a few and sometimes there are dozens. / The kids up here call them Spitfire’s because if you mess with them they spit out a horrible yellowy green mucous that burns if you get it on your skin.

The pictures in this Calendar cover a period between the fall of France and the battle of Britain in 1940. It was a period when German forces seamed able to do no wrong and had conquered most of main land Europe. All that stood between Britain and German occupation were a hand full of young pilots, British, Commonwealth, and those who had escaped occupied Europe who courageously did battle with the Luftwaffe and in the end won the day.

Spitfire MkI P8194 DL-M, Sgt Donald McKay, No. 91 Sqn, Hawkinge, April 1941. This aircraft is typical of those which fought the closing overs of the Battle of Britain in late 1940, and began to take the fight back to the enemy in early 1941. The Sky spinner and Fighter Command fuselage band, as well as the Special Night distemper on the port wing, were introduced at the end of 1940.

Spitfire MkIXc MH417 NL-L, Cdt Rene Mouchotte, OC No.341 Alsace Sqn RAF, Biggin Hill, June 1943 Cdt René Mouchotte was one of the great Free French leaders of WW2; a highly accomplished airman and a charismatic leader who is still greatly admired.

Spitfire MkVb AA853 WX-C, WCdr Stephan Witozenc, No.302 (Polish) Sqn, 2nd Polish Fighter Wing, Croydon, July 1942 These unusual white bands around the cowling and tailplanes were used briefly in 11 Group in early July 1942.
