Western and allied nations have left themselves dangerously exposed to an accelerating arms race and escalating conflicts. Governments face the need for immediate rearmament to close the widening defence gap.
Private enterprise has a critical role to play in financing the new technologies that will be required to close the capability gap existing between the West and its allies and potential aggressors.
Spitfire Strategic Capital will focus on innovative and adaptive private investment to finance new sensor, communication, logistical and weapons platforms that Western and allied Militaries will require to dominate the battlespace and ensure their swift deployment by producing at scale with 5th-generation manufacturing processes.
Spitfire Strategic Capital’s Inspiration
The Spitfire was the outstanding fighter of WW2. The early Mk I variant played a crucial role in securing victory over Germany during the Battle of Britain, and its later evolutions cemented its place as the greatest fighter of the Second World War.
This beautiful yet deadly aircraft became the embodiment of Britain’s struggle for survival and ultimate triumph in World War II. The unmistakable roar of its Merlin engine, combined with the sight of its graceful elliptical wings cutting through the sky, became an enduring symbol of hope, freedom, defiance, and victory. It stirred the hearts of a nation under siege, embodying Britain’s unyielding spirit and determination to prevail against overwhelming odds.
The Spitfire’s early development was facilitated by visionary private investment: Lady Lucy Houston, a passionate patriot, believed that the UK needed an air defense against the rising threat of Nazi Germany. In 1931, she provided the funding for the Supermarine Aviation Works and the RAF, leading to the winning of the Schneider Trophy based from Calshot Southampton, which led to the development of the Spitfire.
