The memorial was built in 1923, to commemorate the casualties of the Royal Air Force initially for World War I.
The memorial was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield (1856-1942), and the eagle was sculpted by William Reid Dick (1879–1961).
Found on the Victoria Embankment.

Wilford suspension bridge. With the floodlights on, it was just crying out for a low, wide-angle shot to make the structure look more grandiose and imposing. Dropping into monochrome lost the annoying 'orange glow' from the city lights on the clouds. I just wish I had got slightly more square-on; I was sure I was in the middle at the time!
The dragon boundary marks are cast iron statues of dragons on metal or stone plinths that mark the boundaries of the City of London. The dragons are painted silver, with details of their wings and tongue picked out in red. The dragon stands on one rear leg, the other lifted against a shield, with the right foreleg raised and the left foreleg holding a shield which bears the City of London's coat of arms, painted in red and white. This stance is the equivalent of the rampant heraldic attitude of the supporters of the City's arms.

Simon and Sam compete against the Fat Cat strikers for a long throw (which resulted in Sam scoring an own goal!) At a very misty Victoria Embankment in Nottingham!
