Southampton being the 'home of the Spitfire', there are ambitious plans for creating a National Spitfire Monument in the city, visible from afar.
The centrepiece of the monument is a 1.5 scale model of a Spitfire, soaring into the sky.
Very recently, the first tangible evidence of 'work in progress' on the monument was displayed in public, at Southampton Airport to be precise: a 1/40 scale model of the final monument.
Needless to say that I quickly popped into the departure area of the airport ....
The base will feature roundels of all air forces that flew Spitfires.
It will look absolutely fantastic once the actual monument is in place; can't wait to see it!!
