On a very foggy Sunday we went out to see a new memorial, On Freedom's Wings, to the RAF crews of World War 11. This full size sculpture can now been see from the roadside but not on our visit.
A moment after this photo was taken it disappeared again into the fog.
Sunday was a special open day and judging by the number of people we passed as we left, it was well attended. They are still working on the site so visiting times are limited at present.
This project has been funded entirely by donations and is run by Bomber County Gateway Trust who estimate that over 35,000 motorists a day will see it as they travel along the A46 between Newark and Lincoln.
We bought a few souvenirs and will return when the skies are brighter although I appreciated seeing it for the first time appearing out of the fog as opposed to a quick glimpse as we hurtle by in the van.
