A large propeller is carved into the ground as part of the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Fernenear near Dover, UK. At the centre of the propeller is a statue of a sitting airman looking out to sea and to the West is a full scale model of one of the Hawker Hurricane aircraft which took part in defending Britain from Nazi invasion.
