COMMEMORATE,
CELEBRATE, INSPIRE.
HONOURING OUR PAST, INSPIRING OUR FUTURE
The Spitfire is an enduring symbol of innovation, engineering excellence, hope and courage. The National Spitfire Project is the drive behind creating a world-class monument in Southampton, the birthplace of the Spitfire. The Monument will be the tallest stainless-steel sculpture in the world and will commemorate all of those involved in the Spitfire story, celebrate engineering excellence and inspire future generations.
FOR PROGRESS, FOR PEOPLE, FOR PEACE.
Supported by UK Government funding, the National Spitfire Project is fundraising to create a monument and a public engagement programme that honours the legacy of those who designed, flew and maintained the Spitfire.
a symbol for freedom around the world
The National Spitfire Monument is set to be one of the UK’s most striking landmarks — standing taller than the Angel of the North and comparable in height to Nelson’s Column. This monument isn’t just about scale — it’s a symbol of innovation, sacrifice, and national pride.
