To mark the 60th Anniversary of the first Test-Flight
of the Spitfire.
ALEX HENSHAW enjoyed a world wide reputation as a successful air
racing and record breaking pilot in the 1930s, and apart from winning
the 1938 King's Cup race, his most famous flight was from England to
Capetown and back in the same Mew Gull in 1939, setting a record
which is still unbroken.
During WW II he was chief production test pilot at Vickers' Castle
Bromwich factory in Birmingham, which produced over 12000 Spitfires
including Lancasters.
Alex personally flight tested over 10% of all Spitfires ever made.
