Indeed. Thanks for that Avro, it was moving to see. My mother's first husband was lost over the Channel in a Hurricane in mid-1940 and his body was never recovered. Sombre though it may be, it's important that they shall be remembered. Thank you for taking the time to photograph the memorial.

Thanks for taking the time to post these Avro, as you say very sombre but very moving stuff too. Remembered with much affection and pride, and may it always be so.

where exactly is this memorial located ?

20.000 airmen still missing is a very large number

My name sake is there. MIA between England and Germany with the rest of his Halifax crew in Oct 1944. Relatives sent a photo of his name on the wall.
