The steel sculpture, which is nearly 100ft (29m) wide and perched in a field next to the A46 in Norton Disney, near the Nottinghamshire border, is tilted to appear as though the Lancaster is in flight. <\/p>\n
It is intended to honour the RAF crews of World War Two.<\/p>\n
White said the site was not fully open to the public because of planning permission issues with the car park.<\/p>\n
A dedication service was held at the site on Friday by the Bishop of Lincoln. It marked the start of the weekend celebrations, which include a charity ball on Friday night, afternoon tea on Saturday and a bar on Sunday.<\/p>\n
White said another BBMF flypast was expected over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The site had been open to visitors at times during the installation process because of the huge amount of public interest it had attracted, he added.<\/p>\n
“Since we opened it up, we’ve realised everybody wants to come and walk underneath and see it,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I’m sort of struck every day by just seeing it and walking out and being able to share it sort of with the county of Lincolnshire.<\/p>\n
“I feel ecstatic about the whole project.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The steel sculpture, which is nearly 100ft (29m) wide and perched in a field next to the A46…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[365,362,363,364,366,18,117,19,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-487398","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116583247701462901","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
