    Good suggestion, if you take a look at http://www.w3644.com there are some artists impressions of the scheme we are hoping to build, the Paul Boulton Defiant sits in the middle of the display, all suspended over a full sized flower bed in the shape of a Wellington Bomber. All these aircraft have links to RAF Squires Gate and Blackpool Airport. If anyone knows where we could get a mould of a Defiant then we would like to hear from you.

    That’s the one, it was painted orginally in 610 colours and sat outside the old Liverpool Airport. We have some pictures of her in her original state and although it is ‘plastic’ it will hopefully play it’s part in raising significant funds for a new RAF Bomber and Fighter command memorial for the Fylde Coast.

    Brilliant thanks for the information, I have been passed a similar picture in the past but the origins of the replica were sketchy to say the least! We will alter our records to reflect her past. An earlier post says she was commissioned by the 610 Sqn Association, any ideas how long ago and why she was disposed of? Thanks John [email]info@fyldespitfire.co.uk[/email]
