It has been a while but I was fortunate enough to be sent a screener of Spitfire to review for X-Press Magazine which amongst other things has been screening at the British Film Festival. Recounting the making of the legendary aircraft and its important role in the Battle of Britain it also tells the story of those few who flew it. You can read more of my thoughts here http://xpressmag.com.au/spitfire-gets-7-10-taking-flight/
X-Press Magazine was established in 1985 and at one point was Australia’s highest circulating free weekly entertainment publication with over 40,000 copies reaching 1,000 outlets every week. On the 24th May, 2016 Issue 1527 (the last one in print) hit stands. Like many publications of its ilk X-Press Magazine is now foremost an online magazine engaged globally and making the most of the possibilities that new digital technology offers. It’s roots though are tied to its home city, love of local artists and productions and music which it supports wholeheartedly. Perth a capital city most isolated from all the other capitals is continuing to grow and develop culturally and artistically with its own identity and talent. X-Press has always been there to capture this growth and will continue to do so.

Cool post. I am interested to see it.
Thank you Alex, I’m glad you liked.
Despite living here, I hadn’t heard about this new film. But in all honesty, I have seen more documentaries and feature programmes about The RAF, and the Spitfire, than you could shake a stick at. Despite becoming an aviation icon, it’s worth remembering that its poor relation, The Hurricane, actually downed far more German aircraft during WW2. 🙂
Nice balanced review, Lloyd.
Best wishes, Pete.
I agree Pete which is why I put it in my review but the Spitfire was very pretty and had a better kill loss ratio.
Can’t wait for this one!
Hey John, I thought you might like this. Hope you enjoyed the review.
