Such a great idea and the perfect place. I do hope it gets built.

... becasue it's quiet, not built on and actually in many respects untouched by development in the last few years. Perhaps one of the few places that if an airman took off today he would still recognise it as home.

It's a place of presence, of solace and it has the open spaces around it to offer the observer space for reflection, which IMO is part of what it should be about.

"The headland would have been one of the last sights the airmen saw as they flew out over the Sussex coast. "

I see she is not letting facts get in the way , the vast majority of airmen's last sights of UK would have seen east anglia

Beachy head is also UK's suicide central
