For our exhibition in November we plan to celebrate not only the end of WW1 but also the centenary of the Royal Air Force, formed from the Royal Flying Corps in 1918. Several men who trained in those early days had homes here during WW2, by then high ranking officers.

Please get in touch if you can tell us more or knew any of the families personally, if you know of others or have photos we could copy. Anyone in the History Group would be pleased to hear from you or ring Rosemary Mortham on 01844 345863

A full history of each will be given at the exhibition, giving photographs, details of their lifetime careers, their honours and awards, families and their association here with other details such as the planes they flew.

Also included will be the history of Bomber Command together with the controversy it provoked.
