Olympic sculpture

[SPR2]

Will this one now being constructed be taller than the Skylon that was constructed for the Festival of Britain?

If you mean the Orbit, yes it will be taller at 115m than Skylon, which was 90m.

Thanks. It was that news article that made me think of the Skylon.
Skylon was apparently removed in 1952 I wonder if this will have a longer life.
