Mrs C probably has her eye on the Shopping Centre!!!

No, seriously its well worth a visit.

I think there was a display about Spitfire Designer R.J. Mitchell when I visited some time ago, because of the production in and around Southampton.

I do recall a lot about F/Lt Samuel Marcos Kinkead winner of the Schneider Trophy Air Race, he died between the World Wars, in the late 1920’s.

F/Lt Kinkead is buried in the RAF Cemetery at Fawley Church, his grave has the biggest cross and is in front of my grandfathers Sgt Claude L. G. Hood who died at Allington Lane, West End (Nr Eastleigh) in a Whitley bomber accident 15.8.40, also 2 Battle of Britain Hurricane Pilots Martyn Aurel King-16.8.40 and J. R. Hardacre (both Officers) are buried in the 2nd row.
