STICKING a replica Spitfire on a roundabout must be one of the daftest ideas I have ever heard. Why? Because some Spitfire enthusiasts are going to drive round and round it in order to get the full effect causing traffic chaos; others will doubtless feel free to park on the roundabout to get a real close-up impression; and, (unless it is very firmly anchored to the roundabout) someone will find it necessary to tow it away for its scrap value.
I seem to remember a very impressive celebration of the Spitfire designed by an architect with local connections shown in a Daily Echo some time ago - now that would have some wow factor.
