I am very much looking forward to see opening ceremony. With very high respect to all of those heroes, best in our history.
A fitting tribute to all those Czech airmen who fought for the freedom of their homeland. These included my father, Karel Kuttelwascher DFC and Bar.
Very appropriate memorial for these brave airmen.
I notice in the first of the photos showing the completed project there is a structure on the right with posters on it. One of the posters has the ‘hammer and sickle’ and the words ‘KGB’ Maybe the reason why this has been such a uphill battle.
Politics aside, both Milena and myself look forward to paying our respects to this fine memorial and to the men the memorial represents. Lest We Forget.
Wow! Well done! – this memorial looks really nice and well fitting for the remembrance of these Czechoslovak RAF airmen.
