I FULLY endorse the decision to build a replica Spitfire at an entry into Southampton.
The usual accusation that the money could be better spent on hospitals and schools etc, if we remember that with R J Mitchell's Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane, and the sacrifice of many brave airmen, this Britain would have become a Nazi state.
