WHAT a brilliant idea to place a Spitfire memorial at the end of Town Quay. This would be a wonderful sight for thousands of cruise liner passengers travelling in and out of the port of Southampton.
I hope it is an exact replica of the Second World War fighter in its RAF colours, including the propeller.
It would be a tribute to local designer R J Mitchell, all the men and women who built and flew it and the young pilots who lost their lives defending our nation.
