Wonderful as it is, that sculpture would be really amazing if the two blades weren't connected together *eek*

 

Would need a LOT more ballast to counterweight it behind the house though!

 

I'm reliably informed that both a 250 and a 350 tonne cranes were used to erect it *smokin*

When I was on site 2 weeks ago during build up for Audi i had a good look behind the house to see what was being erected and we were surprised to see a Crane with its Gib bending under the strain ,holding the weight of the rear frame over the House. *eek* .... They had a lot of fun putting the middle section in Too *eek*

 

Gerry Juddah's sculptures are 🥰

I'm really struggling with not being there thus weekend *cry*

Love the centre piece this year.

Is it the same person each year the designs and builds?

What happens to them afterwards? They can put that one over my house ( and all my neighbours houses too!)

Quoting nigel blandin:

The structural engineering design for the sculptures has been done by the same engineers for a good few years (at least 2005 to present), Capita bought them about 6 years ago.

 

The sculptor is a chap called Gerry Judah.

 

You can see plenty of images of his work (mainly FoS) here

 

All the best

Was there yesterday, and took similar photos - but with crowds!!

Where were Caterham? No show stand at the Festival of Speed.

One F1 that I'm not sure if it did the hill or not, and two statics - one 300 in Gulf colours, and one S3 in pistonheads logo's.

Spoke to the lone Caterham shirt (by the 300 / S3) who seemed embarrassed at the lack of show.

Is the writing on the wall?
