100th Anniversary of the RAF

I am sure it will have escaped few people’s notice that it is the 100th anniversary of the RAF on 1 April. Whilst this is a momentous date historically speaking, the fabulous cake above says it all in a deliciously lighthearted and ingenious way.

With thanks to Josh Stewart, and Geoff Alan, RAF.

New Trustee: John Clifford

There has been a bit of a delay in announcing the good news but the Charity Commission has now been updated with the details of our new trustee, and we are delighted to welcome on board John Clifford, Senior Curator at the Pathfinder Collection, RAF Wyton.

John has an immense fund of knowledge about the Pathfinders, and was the key man in setting up the Black Thursday display at RAF Wyton last December, just in time for the 74th anniversary, a massive achievement considering how short of time we all were to get the Deverill collection purchased and on display.

Further details of our partnership with RAF Wyton.

Two Requests for Information

We have two unusual requests for information to post this morning.

One concerns Jurik Herman, a Polish airman who flew as a Navigator in a Mosquito squadron.

The other concerns an unknown airman whom we hope someone can identify, his wartime photograph was kept by the young woman in the photograph above. SEE FULL DETAILS
