“Near Alexandra Garden is the memorial to Sir Sydney Camm, creator of this iconic plane of WW2: the Hawker Hurricane. First flown in 1935, 14,000 were built, many at nearby Langley. The last built Hurricane PZ865 still flies today with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Squadron Leader John Grandy who became Governor of Windsor Castle flew it in the Battle of Britain. This elephant remembers those that flew and the many that did not come back.”
