Pilots visit foundry to see castings

On 22 November 04, four surviving Battle of Britain pilots visited the Morris Singer foundry where the castings are being made. They went to view progress on the monument and to see the first spectacular castings.

They saw two sections of casting in their full glory. Each bronze section weighs over three tons.

Lord Tebbit who is chairman of the fundraising committee hosted the visit.

The reactions of everyone to their first viewing were universally positive. You can read their reactions here.
