Mitchell Way roundabout

The road leading to Southampton Airport is appropriately called 'Mitchell Way'.

And the roundabout at the entrance to Mitchell Way has a Spitfire 'memorial sculpture'. This memorial was unveiled in 2004 by Gordon Mitchell, RJ Mitchell's son.

The sculpture is a 2/3 size replica of the Spitfire prototype, K5054

The first flight of this prototype took place in March 1936, from Eastleigh Aerodrome (now called  Southampton Airport).

Here is the memorial sculpture on the roundabout!

I decided to walk around the roundabout, and take a series of pictures as I circled around.
