There is a new project being planned to erect a memorial to a wartime crew who perished in an accident in England, and whose aircraft remains have recently been discovered. At this stage the people behind the project are considering commissioning a large model/sculpture of the aircraft for external display as part of the memorial.
Unfortunately, I am not able to make any more details public at this time, but I would be most grateful for any ideas as to might be able to produce the model/sculpture.
Many thanks.

As to the question raised, “Wots an F37?” it was the Supermarine Type F37/34 prototype for some bird commonly referred to as a Spitfire.

Many thanks for the replies. This is a very exciting project, and I will let you know more as and when I can.

Can recommend someone called Timothy O’Brien GAvA, who did some excellent work on the memorial at St. Omer, Northern France. His web address is given below, but the site seems to be down at present.
