Chattis Hill, Spitfire production - needs sorting
Hampshire · England · United Kingdom
Chattis Hill Spitfire Production
Chattis Hill was a WW1 aerodrome and by WW2 Supermarine needed a site to assemble and fly Spitfires away from their Factory site at Woolston, Southampton as it was being bombed badly in by 1940.

The owner of the assembly site would like to point out that it is now on private land and is only accessible with his permission. There is also CCTV in operation.
The second aircraft’s markings could be “JE J” which were painted on to Johnnie Johnson Spitfire and almost certainly the picture is Kenley and after EN 398 had been flown there from Chattis Hill. Thank you Nigel for your help.
