Plaque #13!

Following the unveiling of 'my' plaque, #12, it was now the turn of #13. This plaque is in Romsey, at the site of Romsey Precision Ltd, a small engineering firm, which made 'special length bolts' for Spitfires.


As usual, prior to the unveiling, Alan Matlock presented a wealth of local history.


The unveiling was done by the son of one of the employees of Romsey Precision Ltd.


So here is plaque #13 in situ!



Of course, my Spitfire penny brooch was present at the unveiling:
