Air Chief Marshal Dowding - SW19 - original plaque

Inscription

Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding 1882 - 1970 leader of Fighter Command lived here, 1941 - 1951.
English Heritage

This plaque was removed when the house on which it was erected was demolished. A new plaque has been erected on the new house. We'd guess English Heritage did not wish their plaque re-erected because the house is no longer the one occupied by Dowding.
