A few moments from the Spitfire Street mission…

Monday saw Lakeside Country Park transformed into a world of secret clues, wartime mysteries and Spitfire spirit, as the First Flight Five set out on their mission.

From decoding clues to exploring the trail, our recruits certainly got stuck in, and we loved seeing so many families take part in the adventure.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the first mission such a success.
Take a look back at some of our favourite moments from the day.

And if you missed it, there’s another chance to join the mission on Sunday 13 September at Boorley Green Sports Pavilion.

Spitfire Street is a FREE family-friendly promenade performance, part of the Eastleigh Walking & Wheeling Festival 2026. Booking is essential.

Meet Georgie. Callsign: Red Leader.

Every mission needs a leader, and when it comes to the First Flight Five, that’s Georgie.

A founding member of the crew and possibly Eastleigh’s biggest Spitfire enthusiast, Georgie knows her stuff, takes charge and isn’t afraid to lead from the front. Fearless, determined and fiercely loyal, she’s the one who keeps the team moving when things get tough.

And as Jessie’s big sister, she’s got another reason to make sure the mission succeeds. For Georgie, her friends, her family and Spitfire Street are worth fighting for.

But where will her determination lead the First Flight Five?

You’ll have to join the mission to find out…

Spitfire Street, created by the team at The Point, is part of the Eastleigh Walking & Wheeling Festival 2026, coming to Lakeside Country Park on Monday 17 August and Boorley Green Sports Pavilion on Sunday 13 September.

Meet Charlie. Callsign: Rigger.

Calm under pressure, precise by nature and always ready with the right tool for the job, Charlie is the one you want around when things don’t quite go to plan.

He notices the details others miss. A loose bolt, a faulty mechanism, a rope under too much tension… nothing gets past Rigger. For him, precision matters, and there’s no such thing as cutting corners.

But what happens when even the best-laid plans face their biggest challenge yet?
