Thanks for the update, BCH, always heartening to hear of the good work you guys are doing and the exciting plans you have for RAF Bicester. It is especially appropriate that your post coincides with a thread informing us of the sad news that Ray Grayston, one of the very few remaining Dam-Busters, has died. Both postings remind us of the very great debt we owe to all who served in Bomber Command in WW2 and the very heavy losses they sustained in order that we later generations be born free. Let us hope that the proposed Bomber Command Memorial in London be completed before they are all gone. BCH Bicester I fear will take rather longer but hopefully what is currently being done and the plans for what it will become will gladden the hearts of those who are still with us. We can never repay the debt we owe but at least as a nation we can express our gratitude and commemorate their sacrifice more fittingly than we have.
