"On Freedom's Wings" Bomber County Gateway Appeal

Post by iggie »

I was given a recent cutting from the Daily Express by my Mother-in-Law, as she (rightly) thought I'd be interested in it. The cutting concerns an appeal to raise money to install a life-size Lancaster artwork on the border between Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

I have no connection with this appeal, other than that I have donated to it, but thought it may be of interest to others on here who like me had not yet heard about it. I'm also considering making a 1/72 diorama based on the proposed memorial

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Now that really puts the so-called ‘Angel of the North’ to utter shame. What a brilliant memorial! 8-)

Still possible to donate if anyone fancies it 😉

That is very cool Jim - that'll look fantastic when it's finished.
