This is a monument as a tribute to the Gloster E28/39 Gloster Whittle, the first British jet aircraft to fly and to Sir Frank Whittle, the Father of jet propulsion who worked close to this site. It is situated on a traffic roundabout close to the M1 motorway to the south of the town. There is a similar example made from the same fibreglass moulds close to the airfield at Farnborough This photo is copyright © Mick Bajcar, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
