My earliest recollection of an airfield memorial was about 1964 at RAF Kelstern,Lincolnshire. Was this the first ?

We have started adding memorials, not just to airmen, to our website, as a tribute to all that have fallen, on our Lest We Forget page.

Hi Jerry, I have been meaning to photograph the memorial there except every time I drive past is is raining – much like when you were there!

Earith in Cambridgeshire:

And on the day I visited it had been raining:

I have added alot more memorial photos to my site over the past few months, if you are interested then have a look here http://www.airfields.fotopic.net/. I am always wanting to find new memorials in the Norfolk & Suffolk area so if anyone can point me in the direction of any I haven’t yet photographed then let me know.

There is also a memorial window in Little Easton church to the airmen who flew from Great Dunmow (the church itself being only a couple of hundred yards off the airfield). I’m sorry to say I have no pics.

I don’t know which way you entered the village but the best way is along the A505 from either Royston or from Baldock.
Turn up the road from the A505 towards Litlington, over the level crossing and follow the road all the way until the church on the left. The road turns left and just as the road bears right the gate in front of you was the end of one of the runways. If you follow this road along you will see the memorial on the left hand side of the road.

The next village you come to is Steeple Morden. If you had followed the signs to Litlington you would have come across the memorial.

Worth seeing and it will send a shiver down your neck.

Brian.

Thanks – I must have gone past it on the way into Steeple Morden. The village sign itself is of interest. DS
