This public art dragonfly sculpture was built from the body of ZA804 by aeronautical engineering apprentices from QinetiQ at Boscombe Down, who stripped out the internal fittings, reversed the tail, formed giant mesh eyes and added steel lattice wings before spraying the whole sculpture with pearlescent paint. The project involved the Salisbury International Arts Festival and Natural England's Living River project. in an effort to bring public art works, designed and engineered by local people, to the River Avon system.
