The core of the monument is a number of scenes, not just of the Battle of Britain itself, but also related topics of both military and ordinary life at that time. The scenes depict also workers who were supporting the airmen in the Battle, like:
- the spotters looking for enemy planes
- the ground technical staff
- women working in munitions factories
- along with people in the blitz
The centre piece of the monument is “Scramble”, the airmen running towards their planes having been ordered to scramble to intercept enemy planes
