RAF Bomber Command Memorial


The Bomber Command Memorial was unveiled on 2012 June 28 in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen.  It stands at Hyde Park Corner near Buckingham Palace.  The roof is made from the aluminium of a Halifax bomber that crashed in Belgium in 1944.  It's a rather stunning site, the small poppy lodged into the gear of the figure depicting the navigator (looking to the sky - where else?) kind of grabs you a little.
