This statue outside the St Clement Danes Church is a memorial to one of the unsung heroes of the Second World War. Giving his full rank as ‘Air Chief Marshall Lord Dowding, Baron of Bentley Prior and Commander-in-Chief of the Fighter Command of the RAF’, the statue was completed in the 1990s. The statue was designed by Faith Winter, who also designed the adjacent ‘Bomber’ Harris statue, and is cast in bronze. Lord Dowding is remembered for his significant help in winning many air battles, thanks to his realisation of the importance of radar in combat.
