Just been looking at that picture of the Mirage fighter on the roundabout in France, and it reminded me of Spitfire Roundabout just to the east of Winchester:

No memorial aircraft there, alas, but things are looking a bit brighter just down the road in Southampton, where plans are afoot for the construction of a proper memorial to the Spitfire on the seafront in Mayflower Park:

To do both the ‘plane and the poet justice, I shall now include High Flight in its entirety as John Gillespie Magee was a Spitfire pilot, killed in action, in his Spitfire, in 1941:
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, – and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air…
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew –
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
