The Royal Air Force Memorial is a striking monument situated on the Victoria Embankment in London, overlooking the River Thames. The memorial is dedicated to the men and women of the Royal Air Force who have lost their lives in service. Designed by architect Sir Reginald Blomfield, the memorial features a large stone pedestal topped with a gilded eagle, symbolizing the RAF's motto "Per Ardua ad Astra" or "Through Adversity to the Stars." The pedestal is adorned with bronze plaques bearing the names of RAF personnel who have died in action, as well as those who have served with distinction. The memorial's design is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of RAF personnel, and it serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of their service.

Great Memorial on the former RAF Strubby . Lots of buildings of the wartime period left to see probably one of the most interesting sites to see to get an idea of the basic facilities those brave men had to put up with alongside the high mortality rates of the actual bombing raids .
Site of historic interest, with intact former RAF WWII buildings. This was a former bomber command air field. The original control tower has been converted into a private dwelling. Part of the original runway still exists.
Wonderful piece of history. Lots of info about the site too and such a beautiful memorial
