Incredible photos show huge new Lancaster bomber sculpture in the Midlands
Boasting a 31-metre wingspan, the sculpture is truly breathtaking
A huge new sculpture of a Lancaster bomber has been unveiled near to the Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire border.
Known as On Freedom’s Wings, the breathtaking sculpture was assembled over the weekend after years of planning.
It was erected next to the A46 at Norton Disney, between Newark and Lincoln.
The sculpture has been completed thanks to eight years of fundraising by the Bomber County Gateway Trust.
Positioned at an angle to recreate an aircraft landing at the former RAF Swinderby, the sculpture pays tribute to a Lancaster which crashed during landing in 1942.
It’s estimated that around 35,000 motorists will pass by the impressive sculpture each day.
The site will open fully later this autumn, but for the time being On Freedom’s Wings is best viewed from the A46.
