Probably a prop or wing(root). But a bit to abstract, IMHO.

I don't think its appearance is supposed to represent anything about the battle, but is rather to catch your eye and make you think 'what the hell is that?' Then you would walk in and think 'oh, how silly of me, its obviously a Battle of Britain memorial...'

:grin: Made me smile ;) I was really bitter to see this. I mean, I know we have a ferris wheel and a gerkhin in London, but at least they have some comedy value and are easily recognizeable (and quite quirky) but this is an embarassment to the RAF museum.

I wish you hadn't mentioned the gherkin. I had to look it up. What are you all doing to that old city?!

Let's focus on the good.... :cool:

A large elliptical wing shape, standing vertically with prominent roundel would have been more appropriate.

Looks good to me:grin:

I would guess a beacon of hope.

London is coming on by leaps and bounds. The great bits are still great. But many of the dowdy old relics have given way to some really remarkable stuff. A trip along the river now is to see a city that no longer tuns its back on the Thames. It's becoming a more integrated city. Look out for 2012, too. Oh, and I don't live there and have never been a fan of the place.

Not convinced on the exterior design at all. Was it conjured up by the same people who designed the ludicrous London 2012 Olympics logo?

However, the interior design looks spot on. A superb touch to make it look as if the aircraft at the top are frozen in the sky, locked in a perpertual dogfight.
