Mark Lindstrom
Memorial
The recently erected Lancaster Gateway memorial between Lincoln and Newark, adjacent to the A46, is the area’s equivalent of the ‘Angel of the North’ sculpture. Titled “On Freedom’s Wings” it depicts a Lancaster Bomber which crashed nearby after limping home from a mission over the Baltic. It’s also intended as a general memorial to the area’s aviation links to the Second World War.
Access is extremely limited at present, a private road prevents gaining a reasonable vantage point. You are therefore left with parking on the road side, which isn’t too bad on the back roads, and there’s a nearby lay-by on the north bound carriage of the A46, but this is an extremely busy, fast, dual carriageway!
However open days to site have now been announced for the next couple of Sundays, starting 12th, and next week the 18th October, 10am to 4pm, with more to come.
