Tribute to the Few updated

Malcolm

Our moving tribute to the men of the Royal Air Force who saved this country from invasion in 1940 has been brought up to date.

 

Stonemasons have amended the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall to add the names of six aircrew members who have been added to the ranks since the wall was unveiled in 2005, and to make other amendments.

 

The six names added by the team from Cleverly & Spencer Monumental Masons include that of Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park, now recognised as one of ‘the Few’, and of Flight Lieutenant Ronald Thomson, the most recent addition following the discovery of his logbook.

 

“Much has happened since the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall, which complements the National Memorial to the Few at Capel-le-Ferne, was unveiled,” explained the Trust ‘s Hon Secretary Patrick Tootal.

 

“New discoveries about the Battle of Britain are being made all the time, and the Trust’s own team is continuing to research the details of those who flew in order to make sure that the Database of the Few remains as accurate as possible.

 

“We are delighted that we have now been able to make a few necessary changes to the details inscribed in 2005 and to add the names of six brave aircrew whose role in the Battle that changed history has only come to light in recent years.”

 

The wall is a major feature at the award-winning Memorial, which is also home to our replica aircraft, The Scramble Experience and our first-floor café with amazing views over the Channel. It is open from 10am to 4pm daily.

 

The digital Database of the Few maintained by the Trust is updated regularly.

Both require meticulous planning and a commitment to excellence to deliver meaningful outcomes.

This moving tribute reinforces how important it is to remember and celebrate those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Each name added to the wall tells a story that should never be forgotten.
