On Sunday 5th May, the team behind the Northern Battle of Britain Memorial shall be unveiling 'Phase One' of the memorial at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum.

Also featuring above the memorial will be sculptures of the Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft instrumental in the victory over the skies of southern England. Both sculptures have been created by Doncaster artist Ian Curran.
