Some HA Members were invited by Air Vice-Marshal Leslie Phipps, vice chairman of the Sir Sydney Camm Commemorative Society, to the unveiling by the Mayor of Windsor of their Hurricane ‘replica’ on 20th July in Alexandra Gardens, Windsor. The RAF was represented by Air Commodore Tony Barnby. Also present were the family of Sir John Grandy who, as a Squadron Leader and CO of  No.249 Squadron, Gold Coast, flew the Hurricane depicted by the ‘replica’ in the Battle of Britain, and members of his squadron.

The very accurate ‘replica’ was made by Gate guards (UK) Ltd of St Mawgan and looked magnificent in the summer sunshine on its plinth beside the Thames. It is certainly a fitting tribute to Sir Sydney and the Society members, especially the instigator Stuart Leigh-Davies, are to be congratulated.
