I am very interested in the Spitfire because my late husband worked at Supermarine helping to build it.

Instead of placing the Spitfire monument at Chilworth roundabout why not rebuild the pier and place it at the end so that thousands of people approaching the docks could see it? Visitors then might be interested in the maritime museum. Also there could be a viewing post from the Spitfire overlooking the river and the docks and see the ships approaching the docks.
