This evening I witnessed an unforgetful ceremony at Grove Technology Park. Many local residents turned up to see the official installation of a De Havilland Venom fighter at the entrance to the former Grove airfield. Although set up last week ahead of this evening's event, we watched enthralled as this plane held aloft on a plinth was surrounded with light, fireworks and music. During the sunset, we saw a Spitfire flypast and watched its breathtaking display above.
The RAF were there along with representatives of the community, who like myself, had been invited to witness and share in this memorable occasion. This was all put together and hosted by Robert Lamplough, Chairman of Grove 2000 and will be a reminder for many years to come of how Grove played such an important part in our war history.
