SPITFIRE is the Southampton Partnership for Innovative Training of Future Investigators Researching the Environment](http://projects.noc.ac.uk/spitfire/), which is a doctoral training partnership (i.e. PhD programme) run out of the University of Southampton. The Supermarine spitfire is a well-known World War II British fighter plane developed by the Supermarine Aviation Works at Southampton. SPITFIRE therefore rates as an elite pre hoc acronym - and an impressively contrived one, at that.
