New restaurant celebrates Spitfire anniversary
07.03.10
Southampton Airport celebrated the 74th anniversary of the first flight of the Spitfire with the opening of a new restaurant named Mitchell's Bar & Kitchen, after RJ Mitchell, the man who designed and tested the renowned aircraft.
On 5 March 1936, the first Spitfire prototype set out for its maiden test flight from Southampton. The airplane played a crucial role in winning World War II for the Allies, with over 22,000 being produced by the time the war ended in 1945.
The new Mitchell's Bar & Kitchen was designed 'with the time-conscious passenger in mind', with all dishes prepared and delivered in less than 10 minutes. Kevin Brown, managing director of the airport, said: 'The new restaurant was developed based on traveller feedback. It provides much wider variety of dishes to passengers, whether or not they want to grab a quick snack, or sit and relax.
