The story of the threatened Flight Shed has been picked up by local and national news:

1. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/19522522.fears-southamptons-spitfire-factory-demolished/

2. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-58270135

3. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/19525562.spitfire-flight-sheds-wide-lane-are-not-listed/

Facebook posts from family members of those who worked there are adding to the human side of the story. The just post-war photo, from Southampton resident Terry Neal, shows his father Reginald (on the right with lorries belonging to the next door Cunliffe Owen Aircraft company) in front of the Flight Shed still in its wartime camouflage.

We're all hoping it's not too late!
