Near Alexandra Garden is the memorial to Sir Sydney Camm, creator of the iconic WW2 aircraft, the Hawker Hurricane. First flown in 1935, 14,000 were built, many at nearby Langley. The last, PZ865, still flies with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Squadron Leader John Grandy, later Governor of Windsor Castle, flew it in the Battle of Britain. This elephant remembers those who flew and those who didn’t return.
