Here is a nifty link to a map of all Bomber Command airfields and their details which may interest some.

Here is a link to the coverage of the dedication and unveiling of the Bomber Command Memorial in London by the Queen.

Interesting stuff Duncan.
Intrigued that, on the airfields map, the losses are listed as numbers of planes not men. Almost as if there is a reluctance to acknowledge the magnitude of the losses in human terms.

An interesting observation G but perhaps it is done that way because the figures were only calculated recently - I don't know.
