Just viewing a Spitfire in Hanley museum sends shivers down the spine never mind seeing one flyover and hearing the distinctive sound of the Merlin engine and seeing the iconic plane with it's distinctive wing shape. A plane designed by Reginald J Mitchell, born in Butt Lane.

Went to Reginald Mitchell Primary School in Butt Lane, the class used to win a bronze statue of a Spitfire for the week if all the class were ever present for the week before.
