Thank you for keeping us abreast of the tireless work of Bomber Command Heritage, bch. Now that the London Memorial looks at last to be about to happen let us hope that RAF Bicester is seen as its perfect complement so that both may suitably honour the tremendous sacrifice made by that Command in WW2. Another of its members has sadly passed away in recent days, Bill Foxley. He might have found later fame in the Battle of Britain film, but he was a BC Nav and sustained his dreadful burns while attempting to save a fellow crew member from the raging inferno that was his crashed Wellington bomber. Future generations must learn of the heroic struggle that was the WW2 Bombing Campaign, and the dreadful cost that it incurred. It has taken an inordinately long time for this nation to begin to take proper cognisance of the debt it owes these brave men, let us hope now that it makes amends by bequeathing RAF Bicester as a permanent national Bomber Command Heritage Site to ensure that debt is commemorated in perpetuity.
A Merry Christmas to all at BCH, and may 2011 be a truly Happy one for you at Bicester!
