[Bell Historians] Re: Olympic Bell

[Kevin Jones]

I spoke with the Olimpics Press office the other day, I hope to see a picture of the bell soon after it has cooled down 
from casting, I dont think they have planned that far ahead yet, 
but the Olimpic Stadium in Berlin still has its Olimpic Bells cast in 1935 & 1936, The Steel Monsters of German Olimpics,
So we will just weight & See.

A news report in The Daily Telegraph suggested that it might
remain as a feature of the Olympic park in perpetuity.

Perhaps they could consider donating it to somewhere else with
room to keep it at ground level - Salisbury Cathedral maybe?

Or the National Memorial Arboretum?

Then again the old metal thieves are about; is this bell 'too big
to steal'?
