It's one of World War two's most iconic aircraft. Now the remains of a historic Spitfire fighter plane have been handed over to a school in Leicestershire. Paul Ballion went to Ratcliffe College in the 1920's, before becoming the last pilot to fly the aircraft. His old school has now become the proud new home to a set of remains discovered just last year on Salisbury Plain. BBC Radio Leicesters Kristina Hrywnak has been along to find out more.
