Bomber command veterans, including Dambuster Johnny Johnson, are marking the start of construction work on a life sized sculpture of a Lancaster bomber.

On Freedom's Wings' that is being billed as Lincolnshire's answer to The Angel of the North, is being built on the side of the A46 near Norton Disney.

It is hoped the recreation of the famous world war two aircraft will remind visitors of Lincolnshire's strong links with the RAF and wartime aviation.
