Head in the clouds. Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The good lady and I visited the above mentioned and newly opened memorial today in glorious sunshine and I have to say it is a job well done. The main memorial with over 57000 names on it is moving indeed and with free guides( of the human kind) to explain the details to you, you get the full of impact of what you are looking at. The visitor centre has 2 floors of displays and interactive consuls telling the story from both perspectives...look at Malta in 1942 on the big screen, you will see why it won a VC. There is a shop and cafe and although there are some charges it all goes back into the upkeep of the memorial, a small price to pay in comparison to that paid by the names whom the memorial commemorates. With views over the iconic Lincoln Cathedral, so often a view that told the crews they were home safe, this is a fitting tribute to the fallen of Bomber Command . Well worth a visit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
