On This Day 2 21st August 2024.

W3451/JV-V, W3334/YQ-Q, and W3442/FY-D, three scale replica Supermarine Spitfires at Spitfire Island, Gynn Square, Blackpool, 21st August 2024.
Despite what the name may suggest (and several touristy-type articles on certain websites might imply), this is not actually an island, but the middle of a traffic roundabout, at a busy junction on the main road from Blackpool to Fleetwood.
Amusingly, the display is (or, at least, was) sponsored by Airfix.
