Next Memorial Date Announced

February 2024

The next memorial will be for P/O Colin Francis of 253 Squadron, who lost his life on 30th August 1940.

The memorial will take place Friday 22nd March 2024 at 12:00 noon in Stansted Village, Nr. West Kingsdown, Kent. Please come and join us on the day.

It was his first combat with the Luftwaffe and he was shot down, reported 'Missing'.

In August 1981 his Hawker Hurricane was excavated and his remains were still in the cockpit. He was buried with full military honours at Brookwood Military Cemetery.

In the expectation of wet weather leading up to the event, parking in Stansted will be extremely limited, and therefore attendees are politely requested to car share where possible and follow the instructions of the traffic marshallers at all times. Many thanks.
