In one of the current exhibits in the Duveen Galleries at the Tate museum, Fiona Banner has repurposed two decommissioned British fighter-planes. The more eye-catching was a carrier-based Sea Harrier, suspended by the tail. The top of the wings have been etched with a feather pattern, an homage to the plane's avian namesake, the Harrier Hawk.
The second was a Jaguar (a joint Anglo-French fighter), flipped on it's back to render it defenseless. The skin has been polished to a mirror-like shine and presents the viewer with a changing reflection of the gallery.
