    Floor plaque for Bleriot where he landed his plane after crossing the channel. Its located in the Dover castle overflow car park behind the castle. Nothing there apart for a information board and a seating area.

    The memorial is well presented but the surrounding area is completely overgrown(and different from when Bleriot flew in, so you cannot see the relative location of the site). The footpath to the memorial was blocked by a fallen tree which we picked our way round. When we visited the car parking was nearly all blocked by a film crew's marquees etc. The information provided about Bleriot is interesting.

    (Translated by Google) Tucked away in the woods away from everything. It's true that people are French, and here in England, it's no wonder they don't get beaten up. It would probably be the same the other way around. The eternal battle between snail-eaters and pudding-eaters... (Original) Távol az erdőben eldugva mindentől. Igaz az ember francia ez meg itt Anglia nem csoda ha nem verik nagydobra. Valószínűleg fordítva is hasonlóképpen lenne. Az örok harc a csigazabálók és a pudingosok között...

    (Translated by Google) A nice stone memorial, It's a pity that the fuel ran out then, and the poor thing crashed (Original) Szép kő emlékhely, Kár hogy elfogyott akkor az üzemanyag, és szegény lezuhant
