After their Remembrance Day parade, on 10 November 2025, the Czech Veteran’s group of currently serving and veteran Czech military personnel, led by Tomáš Sláma, went to the Battle of Britain Memorial to remember the 88 Czechoslovak pilots who flew in that battle.

There, a wreath was laid on behalf of FCAFA to commemorate the 88 Czechoslovak pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain during the Autumn of 1940, eight of whom lost their lives during that battle. The names of the Czechoslovak airmen are listed on the memorial in the ‘Czechoslovak’ section, eight of whom were killed.
