On Freedom's Wings
On Freedom's Wings is a full-scale replica of an Avro Lancaster bomber situated in Lincolnshire, England.
Revealed in September 2025, this installation stands adjacent to the A46 road at Norton Disney, positioned between Newark-on-Trent and Lincoln. It lies close to the former RAF Swinderby, a historic RAF Bomber Command base. The monument was commissioned by the Bomber County Gateway Trust, an organisation established in 2018 with the aim of creating and installing a significant landmark artwork on the border between Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. The project commemorates the area's aviation heritage.[1] Following the Second World War, Lincolnshire earned the nickname "bomber county" due to its hosting of almost 70 airfields.[2]
Valued at £1 million, this sculpture matches the Angel of the North in terms of size and prominence.[3] The fabrication and assembly were carried out by Timmins Engineering and Construction Ltd, a company based in Lincolnshire.[4]
