I’m thinking of emailing my MP and asking him to ask the PM to make a statement of thanks to Canada, in Parliament, for assisting in the rembrance of the lost crews of Bomber Command. Do you guys think such a request is silly, or worthwhile?

I dont think it is a silly request at all. It wouldn’t harm the government to make such a public statement.

To add my thanks to the Canadians, it has been a wonderful gesture on their part, I just hope the opportunity arrises again sometime in the future.

If I may add, if anyone from the CWHM is reading this, should there be time, could they please take the chance to fly over the Stonefall cemetery at Harrogate please? It is here that many of those who served and died in the RCAF Bomber squadrons are laid to rest.
