Darwen Spitfire Memorial的点评
点评：The stunning stainless steel spitfire memorial sculpture, which was unveiled on Remembrance Day 2012,and marks Darwen's unique contribution to the war effort.
The shimmering stainless steel V R7219 'Borough of Darwen' Spitfire memorial was donated to the town by local philanthropist Steve Hartley, the owner of WEC Group, in November 2012. The statue was handcrafted by WEC's apprentices and took two years to build.
Between 1939 and 1945 the citizens of many British towns and cities took it upon themselves to raise money for the war effort. Although Darwen wasn't a typical target for the Luftwaffe, and seen as a safe place for evacuees, in 1940 the town was subjected to a bombing campaign and a bus travelling up Marsh House Lane was machine-gunned by one of the attacking German planes.
That same year a campaign was launched to buy a Spitfire and, when the Borough of Darwen was accepted into service on March 26 in 1941 and allocated to 92 Squadron, Darwen became the smallest town to finance one of the fighter planes. Sadly the aircraft was lost on July 14 that same year while on escort duty in the north of France.

翻译：这座令人叹为观止的不锈钢喷火战斗机纪念雕塑于2012年阵亡将士纪念日揭幕，标志着达文镇对战争的独特贡献。
这座闪闪发光的不锈钢V R7219“达文自治市镇”喷火战斗机纪念碑是由当地慈善家、WEC集团老板史蒂夫·哈特利于2012年11月捐赠给该镇的。这座雕像由WEC的学徒手工制作，耗时两年。
1939年至1945年间，许多英国城镇的居民自发地为战争筹款。尽管达文镇并非德国空军的典型目标，而且被视为撤离人员的安全之地，但在1940年，该镇遭受了轰炸，一辆行驶在沼泽屋巷的公共汽车被一架进攻的德国飞机用机枪扫射。
同年，一场购买喷火式战斗机的活动拉开帷幕。1941年3月26日，达文自治市正式服役，并被编入第92中队。达文成为当时能够负担战斗机采购费用的最小城镇。令人痛心的是，这架飞机于同年7月14日在法国北部执行护航任务时失踪。
