Longton Spitfire

The Spitfire plane saw its 75th anniversary in 2011.  There was supposed to be a series of celebrations across the year in north Staffordshire - mostly because the inventor of the Spitfire, RJ Mitchell, was born in Talke, near Newcastle-under-Lyme.
However, the celebrations never really took off in number.

There are a number of already-established monuments though. This mural in the shopping centre in Longton is one.
