Battle of Britain Memorial for the North

Huge thanks to Rob at the SW Battle of Britain Memorial in Weymouth for sharing their information and artwork with us. The formatting and detail of the Roll of Honour graphics will be tremendously helpful. We will of course customise our information to feature the squadrons of the RAF's Northern Groups during the battle. Good to see the pride of the West Riding of Yorkshire - 609 Sqn Aux listed on the SW Memorial...

The Trustees have recently uncovered a number of excellent prints some signed by WW2 veterans. They are now for sale through www.battleofbritainbooks.co.uk. Profits from sales will be donated to the Memorial project. The print in the picture is titled American Friend. It shows the action in which Billy Fisk (the first US pilot to fly with the RAF) was lost during the Battle of Britain.

After Battle of Britain expert Paul Davies published details of the Appeal on his Facebook site yesterday he has told us that over 5000 people have viewed the post with over 2,500 in the UK alone...Paul has also written about the need for the Memorial and outlined the important contribution the North made during the Battle. Apparently the post is now being shared across the WW2 aviation sites. The link to Paul came via our Memorial Champion Adrian Ford-Simms...we owe Paul and Adrian our grateful thanks...
