Plaque catch-up

Recently we attended the Spitfire Makers' unveiling of plaque #30. For various reasons, we haven't yet seen a handful of earlier plaques. So time to catch up!

Plaque #24 is situated at the site of the Weston Rolling Mills.


Fuel tanks and copper pipework were made here.


Plaque #25 was unveiled at the site of the Solent Carpet Factory.


They made aluminium parts for the pilot's seats, as well as other components for Spitfires.


Plaque #26 can be found at the site of the Southern Engineering company.


'Machined details' were made here. 


Finally, Plaque #27 was unveiled at the site of Oddie Bradbury & Cull Ltd.


Fasteners and wing tip details were made at this site.

Having seen all 30 plaques unveiled so far, I thought it would be nice to put them all together:
