Monument to NW Aerospace

This blog has been developed to record the development of a public art feasibility, that explores the possibility of a broad future celebration of the dynamic NW aerospace manufacturing industries. This has been prepared by Ian Banks of appointed collaborative consultants Atoll working for commissioning body Lancashire County Council - see his initial vision presented at interview below:
