Salisbury Cathedral is famous
for its elegance and having the highest spire in England: 404ft
high. During 1940, 609 Squadron Spitfires were based near-by
at Middle Wallop, from where they fought the Battle of Britain
and joined the first cross channel operations against occupied
Europe. The airfield was attacked several times during the Battle
of Britain, causing casualties and a number of aircraft were
destroyed. |
