RAF VETERAN Jack Sussens enjoyed a special visit to Goodwood to relive wartime memories of flying a Spitfire.

The 98-year-old, a resident of Huntington House in Hindhead, flew both Spitfire and Harvard planes and was awarded the Burma Star for rescuing wounded servicemen during missions to the jungle.

He said: “It was wonderful to see a Spitfire up close again – I have so many memories of flying them during the war.

“The Brits would use bulldozers to make a strip in the jungle so I could land, pick up the wounded in my two-seater plane and fly them to the nearest hospital camp.”
