Spitfire Makers plaque #10

If you are a loyal follower of this blog, you may have noticed that I posted about the unveiling of the Spitfire Makers plaque #9 and plaque #11, but not plaque #10. Here's why ...

During the unveiling of plaque #10 at Vincent Place in the city centre a few months ago, it turned out that the plaque couldn't be fastened to the building. A temporary plaque was used in the unveiling, but the real plaque is now in place, so we quickly popped by to take some pictures.


Fuselages were built in the Hendy Garage which stood in this place in the 1940s.
