Thornaby Spitfire

Not technically a wartime relic as its a fibre glass replica, but a great reminder of the fact the whole of Thornaby is built over Thornaby Aerodrome. The plane was erected in March 2007, one side depicts resident 608 squadron while the other the Canadian Air Force 401 squadron that flew Spitfires from Thornaby during WW2. There are a number of plaques surrounding the roundabout giving more details on 608 Squadron.
