On Tuesday 17th March, two prototypes of the signs for Kenley’s new Heritage Trail were installed near The Tribute blast pen.

The striking designs (based on the wing of a Spitfire and Hurricane) have been very well received by the public.

Croydon Planning Department have already given their approval for the rest of the signs to be installed. There will now be a hiatus while the other signs are manufactured, but we hope that if everything goes according to plan, the signs will be installed on the Common during July, ready for the 80th anniversary of The Battle of Britain this Summer.
