It always makes me laugh when these developers name roads and buildings after the very things they are so keen to destroy!

With respect; the road names were decided by the local council (with public input). As per my postings on the Flypast forum I see little point in preserving every stretch of grass that felt a Spitfire's wheels upon it - I'm sure the lads who fought for their country would rather there were houses and playgrounds on that field, than for it to remain a dead expanse of earth.

As long as we do remember them, they are not forgotten. Mud and grass honours nobody. And I for one will always remember them.
