On 10 December, after laying a wreath on behalf of FCAFA at the London Battle of Britain Memorial, the Czech Veteran’s group of current serving and veteran Czech military personnel, led by Tomáš Sláma, made their way to the Bomber Command Memorial.
There, they again laid a wreath on behalf of FCAFA to commemorate the 115 Czechoslovak airmen who lost their lives whilst serving in RAF Bomber Command during WW2.
Whilst the majority of that 115 Czechoslovak loss where from 311 (Czechoslovak) Squadron, when the squadron was deployed in Bomber Command while stationed at RAF Honnington and RAF East Wreatham, between 29 July 1940 to 18 April 1942, a few others flew with Britsh RAF squadrons.
The Bomber Command Memorial, is at Green Park, London and commemorates the 55,573 airmen who died serving with RAF’s Bomber Command in WW2.
