Plans have been put forward for a giant sculpture of a Lancaster Bomber to be built on the A46, as a gateway into Lincolnshire.

The sculpture has been described as Lincolnshire's answer to The Angel of The North.

The bomber would be next to the A46 and would act as a landmark welcome symbol for Lincoln.

It is hoped the project will be completed this year to mark the 100th anniversary of the RAF.

The vision is being developed by the Bomber County Gateway Trust, which has been promised land close to Hill Holt Wood.
