Many of you might not have seen the Spitfire tribute outside
what was once the main gate to the factory at Castle Bromwich?
The Spitfires were rolled across the road from there onto the airfield for testing!
Alex attended the ceremony some years ago!
Anyway, I didn't like it much at first but have grown to admire it greatly!
At night, the Spitfires are lit and it really does look quite magnificent!
Tonight some cadets from 165 ATC Squadron at Castle Vale and I placed
some flowers on the island below the great aircraft and said a few words to mark the passing of this great man and friend!
I trust people don't mind me posting these but I would like to share them with everyone!
Birmingham shall never forget you Alex!
