this, in October 1988, Nick Grace was killed in a car accident, leaving Carolyn with twoyoung children to bring up.At this point the story of OUV takes on a new twist. Because of her love for Nick and theSpitfire that they had built together, Carolyn learnt how to fly it, making her first soloflight at White Waltham Airfield on the 17th July 1990, a truly incredible achievement.Once again this flight was filmed not only from the ground but also from inside thecockpit.Nowadays, as well as flying the aircraft over the Hollesley area Carolyn takes part inmany air shows all over the country keeping the memory of the Spitfire and her latehusband alive. She is a courageous lady and for me she is flying one of the mostwonderful aircraft ever to 'Grace the skies'.ContributedNext time yousee and hearthat wonderfulsound aboveyou, just spare athought for thehistory and allthat hard workand dedicationthat made itpossible for usall to enjoy thisremarkableSpitfire.There are DVD and video recordings of the story of this Spitfire called the Perfect Ladyand Going Solo.

Iona BallenyHollesley School welcomes Mr FieldAs you may already know we have a new teacher in school, Mr Field. He is teachingYears 2/3 with Mrs Yates and is loving it here.When he was younger he lived in Shropshire on afarm in the countryside with no one around for onemile! He went to a primary school at Richards Castle,which only had 30 pupils. And we thought our schoolwas tiny! He went to a high school called Leominsterin Herefordshire.Before he was a teacher he used to be a farm worker,agricultural journalist and a teaching assistant. Hebecame a teacher because he thought it was aprivilege to work with young people and to helpthem learn.Mr Field has lots of good ideas for exciting things todo. One day he emailed Mrs Wright saying he had aMr Field at Hollesley School bizarre dream and he kept thinking of building an airraidshelter. Then Mrs Wright emailed back sayingdreams might become a reality! So we are going to get an air-raid shelter (actually a pighut). So now Mr Field is looking forward to helping us build the Anderson air-raidshelter on our field as part of our topic subject World War II. He likes topic workbecause you can pull other subjects into it so Mr. Field is really excited about it. Thewhole school is going to get involved in digging the foundations and putting ourAnderson shelter together. Whilewe are building it we will be doinga range of other subjects such asdesign technology, science andmaths (measuring perimeter andarea, weighing soil dug out and lotsmore).Mr. Field’s favourite sport isfootball (that’s probably why heruns a football club!) But hedoesn’t mind playing other sports.He is married and has two children.One is nine years old and is a boycalled George and the other is aHow exciting it is to build an Anderson Shelter!six-year-old girl called Bethan.
