in the mid eighties while still working for a big
military contractor, it was a normal daily affair
for a bunch of us to drive down to the end of the
industrial park to eat lunch. Out of 1500 employees
there were 4 Spitfires. We use to all hang together at lunch
we were known as the 'Spitsters'
one guy even made up stickers in the print room.
