Sir Keith Park
Just got back from the unveiling of Sir Keith's statue in Trafalgar Square. A few decades late, but his outstanding contribution to European and indeed World history has finally been recognised.

Echo all the above. He and Dowding were in my opinion, the true heroes. The way they were subsequently treated by the Air Ministry is a national disgrace and the scheming that went on behind the scenes quite disgraceful.

Westminster Council decided that the statue could stay for 6 months only. For that reason that particular statue is made of fibre glass.
The bronze one will have a permanent position in Waterloo Place off The Mall. The ceremony will be on 15th September 2010 - the 70th anniversary of the BoB.
