No one can deny the tremendous sacrifice made by RAF Bomber Command in defense of this country and indeed Europe during WW ll. In 2007, The Heritage Foundation Chairman, David Graham discovered that to date, no permanent memorial currently exists to commemorate the 55,000 air crew who lost their lives fighting for this cause nor to remember those injured and imprisoned in the ensuing atrocities. Contacting Bomber Command, The Heritage Foundation immediately initiated plans to rectify what it considers to be an unacceptable oversight. Working closely with the Bomber Command Association, Ministry of Defence, Heritage Foundation President Robin Gibb CBE, Vice President Mike Read, Jim Dooley, Tony Edwards and with the early and enthusiastic support of Alec Lom and The Daily Telegraph Media Group to whom we are most grateful, over half the funds required to complete the task have now been raised. Vice President of Bomber Command, formerly Chairman, Squadron Leader Tony Iverson DFC and Secretary Douglas Radcliffe MBE are regular attendees at The Heritage Foundation fundraising events while other committee members work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure continued progress is made and the goal achieved as soon as possible. Architect and Planning Consultant Liam O’Connor has been appointed to the project and it is hoped that the completed memorial will be unveiled in Central London by mid 2011.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to The Bomber Command Memorial Appeal Fund may do so by sending a cheque made payable to The Bomber Command Memorial Appeal Fund direct to Douglas Radcliffe MBE, Secretary of The Bomber Command Association, RAF Museum, Grahame Park way, Hendon, London, NW9 5LL
