Paul I totally agree, it is a RAF chapel after all, and should reflect the RAF’s role, including those non British members of the service. I would also like to see the ground crews and backroom staff recognized.
I think there is a generational thing here. Growing up in the 70’s and early 80’s WW2 was still a big issue, everybody then over 50 played had their part. I grew up with a WW1 Somme artillery veteran one side and a WW2 RAF ground crew veteran the other. There was still that underling current of anti German and Japanese sentiment. Things have changed, the RAFM feel the Battle of Britian is no longer a centerpiece and most of the population under 40 have never met a WW2 veteran.
Its crazy that there are more WW2 aircraft flying than since the early 50’s so people still have a massive interest in the conflict. However there has been a creep on how the conflict is portrayed in museums. No more good and bad sides, a bit like non competitive sport in schools, no mention of winners. Just junk all the exhibits and end up like IWM North!

Enough to make you weep! Sadly in today’s yoof orientated world all you need are some AV’s and a pointless building! Would be some much better if the BHHH could be co-located near the chapel and some of the ajacent ex RAF quarters restored to their former glory.

the excellent Air Britain Percival Book indicates it went from 27MU Shawbury to halton in 1957 and was SOC/scrapped there in 59.

Does anybody know the reason there were lots of Sea Hornet rear fuselages at St.Davids? What happened to the rest of the aircraft, why were those parts left?

Hi find where Redfields garden center is in Church Crookham and it was the office park next door, that general area anyway.

OH no, all that way for that to happen on its first display. Trouble is it’s hardly a standard item like a P-51D hood would be. Hope they can get it back in the air for RIAT?
