National Spitfire Monument
https://nationalspitfiremonument.com/about/
The National Spitfire Project is behind the drive to build a new, national monument commemorating an iconic aircraft. With a silhouette that inspired hope and a sound that prompted awe, the Supermarine Spitfire embodied engineering excellence, innovation, and the collaborative efforts of men and women from over 30 Allied nations. A stainless steel Spitfire, one and a half times the size of the original aircraft, will appear to be rising up from its birthplace, taking flight over Southampton water. The monument will be 40m (131ft) tall – On a par with the scale of the Statue of Liberty and Nelson’s Column– and make a breath-taking sight for the millions of people who visit the UK’s busiest cruise port each year. The Spitfire Monument promises to be a stunning and dramatic landmark on Southampton’s waterfront, within sight of the original Supermarine factory, the birthplace of this remarkable and legendary aircraft. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....eae1f42e2a.png |
No dates I see.

This one is pretty good...ignore the bit about infrastructure development, the rest of the locality still looks like a bomb site / land fill site.

It very nearly is, just doesn't work. :O
The reason is that the closing bracket of your URL wasn't within the URL tags. Just trying to help readers find it - it's worth a read. :O |
