About the memorial: A 1/3rd model of a Spitfire supported on 2 steel rods as if in flight, mounted on a stone plinth with dedication. The Public house was a popular haunt of the Royal Air Force Squadrons during WW2. The model was dismantled and restored in 1996, and then stolen in 1997. It was replaced with a new scale model Mk VB spitfire (made at Pinewood film studios|) and decorated in the colours of 303 Polish Squadron, in 2007.
