My husband and I attended the dedication of the new Fleet Air Arm memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on Friday. It’s the first time we’ve been to the Arboretum - and it’s something we now want to do again with friends and family. It’s a beautiful place, and a living part of our history. I now understand why we were told on arrival that we would not do it justice in just a day.
The Fleet Air Arm Memorial - dedicated on 11 Sep 09
It was a poignent day for us. My husband is an ex-WAFU (Fleet Air Arm), so are both my parents. My father was not well enough to make the trip, so we were also representing them at this gathering of past and present members of the Fleet Air Arm for the unveiling and dedication of the Fleet Air Arm memorial.
