New Southampton Airport 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 famous aircraft.
On 5 March 1936, the first Spitfire prototype set off for its maiden test flight from Southampton. The plane played a crucial part 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 has been designed 'with the time-conscious traveller in mind', with all dishes made and delivered in less than ten minutes. Kevin Brown, managing director of the airport, said: 'The new restaurant was developed based on passenger feedback. It offers a much wider range of dishes to passengers, whether they want to grab a quick snack, or sit and relax.
