April 30th 2012 - Battle of Britian Monument

30th April 2012

The Battle of Britain Monument in London is a sculpture on the Victoria Embankment overlooking the River Thames, unveiled in September 2005, 65 years after the battle.

The monument utilises a panelled granite structure 25 metres long which was originally designed as a smoke outlet for underground trains when they were powered by steam engines. A walkway was cut obliquely through the middle of the structure, and is lined with panels of high relief sculpture in bronze depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. The centrepiece is an approximately life sized sculpture of airmen scrambling for their aircraft during the battle. The outside of the monument is lined with bronze plaques listing all the airmen who took part in the Battle on the Allied side.
