===Coventry, England=== *The "[[Whittle Arch]]" is a large double wing-like structure situated outside the [[Coventry Transport Museum]], Millennium Place, [[Coventry]] City Centre. *A statue of Whittle by Faith Winter is situated under the Whittle Arch. It was unveiled on 1 June 2007 by his son, Ian Whittle, during a televised event. It shows Whittle at [[RAF Cranwell]] looking towards the sky observing the first test flight of a Whittle-powered [[Gloster E.28/39]] on 15 May 1941. *A school is named after Whittle in the [[Walsgrave]] suburb of Coventry. It was first called ''Frank Whittle Primary'', then renamed in 1997 as ''Sir Frank Whittle Primary School''. A jet engine replica sits in the reception area of the school, donated by Whittle himself during his life. *A commemorative plaque marks the house in Newcombe Road, [[Earlsdon, Coventry]], in which he was born and lived until age nine.<ref name="Whittle quantal DVD"/> *On [[Hearsall Common]], near Whittle's Coventry birthplace, a plaque commemorates where Whittle gained inspiration when he saw an aircraft land. It says "on this common Frank Whittle, jet pioneer, first felt the power of flight." *[[Coventry University]] named a building after him. *The main hangar at the [[Midland Air Museum]] is called ''The Sir Frank Whittle Jet Heritage Centre''. *Whittle house was one of the four "[[House system|houses]]" at [[Finham Park School]] until they were renamed in 2008.
