Shattered Dreams / Terrible Memories / Bright Future : Hounsdown School

The pupils of Hounsdown School have created a dramatic reconstruction of a Spitfire crash in the corner of Castle Vault. Visually recalling Roy Lichtenstein’s famous Whamm! painting, this piece appears as a freeze frame in time. Whilst not representing a specific incident, it vividly brings to life a dramatic scene featuring the plane which played such a major part in the history of Southampton.
