Available for over a year

A Dorset pub has mounted an eye-catching model of a Spitfire on its roof as part of VE Day 75 celebrations. The single-seat fighter has become synonymous with remembering past conflicts, having given the RAF a critical edge during World War 2. The sculpture is atop the Wyke Smugglers pub in Wyke Regis - courtesy of an idea, a creator and a charity. BBC Radio Solent's Dorset reporter Laurence Herdman reports.
