Paul Day recreates Battle of Britain Monument
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." Winston Churchill, 20 August 1940
Originally conceived by Bill Bond, founder of the Battle of Britain Historical Society, The Battle of Britain Monument on London's Victoria Embankment is a lasting mark of respect commemorating the 'few' who fought bravely and tenaciously against the Luftwaffe, causing the Germans to postpone and eventually cancel their invasion plans. This film documents the struggle faced by the project managers, who oversaw the creative process from concept to construction, as artist Paul Day set about sculpting one of London's newest, and most overdue, monuments.
