Merry Christmas 2024!
Wishing all our followers a Merry Southampton-Spitfire Christmas and a new year full of the next Spitfire Makers plaques! (Watch this space!)
We have two more plaques ready to go up and unveilings are being planned for early in the new year – they will be numbers 12 and 13. After that, we have as many again waiting in the wings. Funding is in place for nearly all and we already have permission to place most of them. Then it’s just the small matter of the wording!
A guided walk led by Chair, Alan Matlock, to cover most of the locations of the next phase of plaques (focusing on the original factory sites in Woolston) is being hosted by Southampton Museums: –https://southamptonmuseumsandgallery.co.uk/…/shadow-of…/
It’s not till the end of March but tickets are already selling!
