Having read the attached article on the first thread, I was absolutely “Gob smacked” to read that 9,500 Pilots lost their lives during this horrendous conflict,
I would have thought some sort of ceromony would have, (Has there) been held.
It must have been hell for the pilot and gunner/nav if their aircraft caught fire, and no parachutes to bail out with.
Why is it forgotten?. perchance it’s because there are none of these brave men left?.

Good to see this geting some attention, It seems at times that nothing is of interest before the Battle of Britain!! Hope as we get closer to 2014 it get brought more to the fore:)

We owe them so much– to think that my father was a nine year old at the time, and although dying young lived to see jet aircraft in the skies (1952)
