The National Spitfire Project is delighted to continue its partnership with Carbon Art 45, whose exceptional handcrafted carbon fibre sculptures are helping to bring the National Spitfire Monument one step closer to reality.
Created by renowned designer and engineer Alastair Gibson, each sculpture combines precision engineering with artistic craftsmanship, celebrating one of Britain’s most iconic aircraft while directly supporting our fundraising campaign. The initiative has already raised an incredible £29,000 for the National Spitfire Project, demonstrating the generosity of collectors and aviation enthusiasts who have chosen to support the creation of the National Spitfire Monument.
For every sculpture sold, £1,000 is donated to the National Spitfire Project, with the UK Government matching that contribution, meaning every purchase generates £2,000 towards the monument.
