Reach for the sky..., a wonderful film
hey JK, good news to hear KM was your neighbour
anyhows..., thought i would mention that the blue ''plaque'' isnt actually a plaque.
the concavity of the ''plaque'' faces downward.
while undertaking some design features in the 80's i was asked to contribute ideas for re-design of the memorial
ever wondered why the blue ''plaques'' look so clean?
After firing, ''plaques'' have a thickness of 2 inches and a final diameter of 19½ inches.
this concavity means they are self-cleansing and require virtually no maintenance.
great design idea isnt it?
i have always referred to them as the blue dome

Bit like Terry Thomas. Both sadly died from Parkinson's. Does his wife, Angela Douglas still live there? |
