It has already received more than 55,000
visitors since it was opened by Her
Majesty the Queen accompanied by His
Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh in
March 2015.
Andy Howland, sales director of GEZE UK,
said: “It’s often said that a building’s design
is unique, but in the case of the Wing, which
has been designed to remind visitors of
WWII’s most iconic aircraft, the Spitfire, it
truly is.
The Slimdrive SCR is simple to operate
and like all of GEZE’s Slimdrive range, it
has been designed and tested to meet
the requirements of all relevant standards
and regulations, including Building
Bulletin 93, Approved Documents B and
M.
It also assists with the vigorous demands
of the Equality Act.
The Wing is just the latest in a long line
of high profile tourist attractions that
GEZE UK has created entrance solutions
for. Other projects include the Battle of
Bannockburn Visitor Centre, Blenheim
Palace and the Theatre Royal Glasgow, to
name but a few.

“The Wing is an eye-catching, high
quality building that was designed to
make a statement while at the same
time respecting its surroundings and not
detracting from the Memorial itself. The
Trust is delighted with the design, the
quality of the building and the reaction
from visitors,” said Battle of Britain
Memorial Trust, Richard Hunting CBE.
We are always delighted to have the
opportunity to work on such high profile
projects and the Wing is no exception. The
circular lobby created by the Slimdrive
SCR, reflects the cockpit-style viewing
platform and has been designed to allow
the building’s many visitors to enter quickly
and easily.”
