Spirit of Aviation

 

The bronze Spirit of Aviation sculpture by Simon Stringer was designed to mark the dawn of the jet age and celebrates Gloucester's contribution to aviation history and the modern trade of the aircraft worker.

The artist held several workshops with ex-employees of Gloster Aircraft Company to gather authentic details while he was working on the figure.
