A 91-year-old who became fascinated by Spitfires during World War II has finally achieved her dream of flying in one.
Doreen Allen fell in love with the ‘beautiful’ aircraft after witnessing a Spitfire dogfight when she was just six years old.
She was awed by how the plane ‘turned on a sixpence’ and decided then she would one day take to the skies in a Spitfire herself.
