Welcome to Britain. Image: Flight Path Media.

This is the sight that is currently welcoming air passengers on the approach to Gatwick. For those flying in from other nations, their first impression of Britain is a 9,000 square metre pole dancer. Understandably the advert is causing quite a stir, with the Campaign to Protect Rural England calling it "a tacky advert which sets a nasty precedent".

Does this advert give a wrong first impression of the nation? If so, what should be the first thing visitors see?
