Southampton Airport

Yes!You are quite correct,Wily old Nat kept a piece of the Tarmac,and I gather will not sell it,so demands rent for it!!He did have Panshanger,which has been on/off a Licensed Airfield,but I am unaware of its state today.Of course,Mut Summers was the Supermarine Test Pilot,who was succeeded by Geoffrey Quill.The old Spitfire Assembly Hangars were meant to be listed,but a JCB mysteriously demolished part of them,making the rebuild not financially sound,so there remains very little of old Supermarine now extant.
