It’s now at the transport interchange between the terminals. Unfortunately the airport don’t really significantly highlight what the statue is or why it’s there. Maybe their intention is to dedicate the whole airport to the event from 100 years ago, as the terminals to this day represent how air travel was in its infancy. Uncomfortable and expensive, filled with Edwardian technology.
