It’s a new week and there are more great shows and talks coming to The Atkinson this week.

Here are four shows to look forward to:

Spitfire V BL585 – Aspull, Wigan, 13th February 1942
Wednesday 1 February 2023. 7pm.
Free for members / £5 for public.
The fate of a 308 Squadron Spitfire from the RAF Woodvale, had for many years posed something of a mystery to Aviation Archaeology enthusiasts in the North West.
Although the loss of this machine was clearly recorded in the Squadron’s Operational Record Book, no location was given and as usual, there was no Form 1180 available that might give further information.
This talk will look at the background to this story and the subsequent recovery of the missing aircraft in September 2005. Not to be missed!
