The airfield memorial stands as a cherished tribute to the brave individuals who served at RAF Downham Market, a pivotal Royal Air Force Bomber Station from July 1942 to September 1945.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this memorial project. Your Support is invaluable and greatly appreciated. Your generosity will ensure that the sacrifice of our fallen heroes, many of whom were never found, can now be remembered together at the memorial forever. 

The memorial, which honours their sacrifice from 1942 to 1945, will stand as a testament to their bravery, thanks to your support. 

To everyone who has contributed through our GoFundMe page, thank you. Your kindness truly makes a difference, and I sincerely appreciate your generosity.

With this memorial, we are keeping their legacy alive together!

"We Will Remember Them"
