A most unusual visitor on the roof of the public area, with the highest point of the Queen's Building in the background. Marked as S1596. This aircraft was painted in 1940 to represent S1596 for the film "First of the Few" and for many years was thought to be that S6B. In fact it is S6A N248 and is now displayed as such in Southampton.
