We, the undersigned, are aware that there is no permanent memorial or statue to Air Chief Marshall Sir Keith Park GBC, KBE, MC and Bar, DFC, RAF who was in direct command of the pilots and all those who helped them defend London, the South East and the whole country from invasion during the Battle of Britain in 1940. We are aware that there is a suitable statue currently being commissioned and agree that a suitable position for this statue to occupy is the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar Square, where Sir Keith Park would join other heroes.
Thanks for the link Jacko, duly signed. Given the wording of the petition (above) I think he rather outranks your 18/19th Century worthies, even minus wig or horse, and in two hundred years time might be better known than today!
