From the Wikipedia article
The statue of Sir Keith Park is a statue by the Athenaeum Club on Waterloo Place. A three-year campaign to commemorate Keith Park originally aimed at erecting a statue of Park in Trafalgar Square resulted in the creation of a memorial. The statue was designed by Les Johnson and unveiled in 2010 on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It depicts Park, a member of the RAF who defended England in the battle, wearing a life jacket and flying gloves. With Park himself a New Zealander, the statue stands not far from New Zealand House. A temporary version of the statue occupied the Fourth plinth in 2009.
