The decommissioned Tornado jet which will form the basis of Fiona Banner's major new public artwork starts its journey from a scrapyard in Seaham, Co. Durham. 

Tornado involves the physical and conceptual transformation of a decommissioned RAF Tornado airplane into a large single bell. Situated in a busy public space to coincide with the Cultural Olympiad’s Open Weekend of 24-25 July and placed at a human level, the bell may be rung by anyone who encounters it.
