When I arrived at Heathrow today I could not help but notice this huge aluminium sculpture at the entrance to Terminal 2.

Entitled 'Slipstream' it is the work of the sculptor Richard Wilson RA and it is said to be inspired by observations of the flight path of stunt planes.

Elsewhere in the terminal the artworks and decorations were more modestly sized..
