Hi Charles,

Thank you for your interest. Here's the official line on that subject:

The depicted memorial in the shape of winged lion, unveiled in Klárov
(Lesser Town of Prague) on 17 June 2014, is devoted to the Czechoslovak
airmen who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. The
two metre high bronze-cast Winged Lion is the work of the contemporary
acclaimed British sculptor Colin Spofforth.

....and here's some more pictures of it...
