A little bit outraged by this as well:
RAF memorials given £400000 in George Osborne's Autumn Statement | Politics | News | Daily Express
It seems that the Chancellor has kindly gifted £400,000 in his Autumn Statement solely for RAF memorials. Why should this be spent on new ones like the planned Bomber Command abomination in Lincoln when something so historically important and relevant as St George's should be potentially sidelined? Bomber Command have their superb new memorial in London and the Cathedral in Lincoln - why can't Fighter Command have St George's and their fine memorial on the Embankment? It smacks of mis-management by the various heritage committees?
