Ainsdale Flyer

Something I noticed on a long hike from Southport to Liverpool and hadn't seen before, which was installed in June 2010.

 

Sculpture of a Lockheed Electra plane above a New York skyline, which stands outside Pontins at Ainsdale.

 

The model of the twin engine monoplane on the Shore Road roundabout commemorates the transatlantic flight made from Ainsdale beach to New York in 1937.
