Scottow Memorial Plaque Renewal

21/4/2017

4 Comments

 

Update: Total now reached - Thank you!

41 Squadron has now raised £456 for a replacement memorial plaque to go at the military cemetery at Scottow for the 6 servicemen who lost their lives in a coach accident at Sasbachwalden on the 21st May 1983.  They were serving with 41(F) Squadron RAF on exchange with 421 Squadron RCAF. 

5 of those lost were from a complete cross section of the Squadron: a SNCO Avionics, a Rigger, a FLM, MT driver and a safety equipper. The 6th serviceman was from II Sqn RIC at Laarbruch.

It was not honour to share the remembrance service this morning with members of the Squadron. A lovely tribute to the young personnel who lost their lives. My compliments to the pilot for an immaculate flypast.
