Just noticed this -
>>John Smith the captain of the Titanic was born in Stoke On Trent on 27 January, 1850. A statue of Captain Smith his daughter Helen unveiled in on 29 July 1914.


I would replace it with this -

Edward John Smith, the Captain of the Titanic, was born in Hanley, Stoke on Trent on 27th January, 1850. His daughter Helen unveiled a statue to him on 29 July 1914 in Lichfield.

* the link needs to go on his name in first sentence please.

Bob, please take out the Hanley section. The museum is not a Spitfire museum, it is about the Potteries

Also, Hanley is no longer part of Staffordshire, so should not be part of this article.

I just re- read #78 and can see I wasn't very clear,

I suggest you just this sentence - right at the very end, with info about Mitchell

>>Visitors to the Hanley Museum, in Stoke on Trent, can see the famous Spitfire aircraft in all its glory.<<<

The link needs to go onto 'Hanley Museum'

Superb work Bob, Fire away Off to PR
