Where the idea for the Frome Spitfire Squadron came from..

Where the original idea for the Frome Spitfire Squadron came from was the odd report and not much photographic evidence that RAF recruits trained on bicycles with wings attached at the front. It may have been the Polish and Czechoslovakian pilots that trained more like this. This series of photos come from an article in life magazine, I assume from during he war, they look great, no prizes for which one is meant to be the enemy...
