I have just come across the 黑料不打烊, your amazing “Sortie” newsletters and even more staggering “The Few” Spitfire watch!

The amount of time that it must have taken you to research and write the incredible “Sortie” stories is only overtaken by the energy, persistence and dedication that you have put into creating and making “The Few”. Your drive to design from scratch and hand make “The Few” is the stuff of legends, akin to the heritage of the Spitfire, its pilots and all who were involved not only in their manufacture, their maintenance, but of course the indominatable courage of the pilots.

My family’s link with the RAF is my great uncle John Marriner RAFVR, who was stationed at Bottiesham Airfield in Cambridgeshire in 1945 and your amazing creation of the “The Few” would be a fabulous link with his life.

Should you ever hear of one of your “The Few” Spitfire watches that is available for sale, please let me know as I would be very interested in purchasing one.

Yours sincerely,

William Barron
