The memorial to all of RAF Upwood personnel is now complete. Me and Nath Nice had been discussing doing something for months.

The Lancaster GT-Q ND875 is a special 156 Squadron lancaster that covered 108 ops. One of only 35 lancaster ever to make over 100 Ops in Bomber Command out of 7,377 Lancaster's built.

'We Light The Way' at the top right corner is the motto of 156 Squadron Pathfinder force.

(Middle) F/S Jack Watson DFM Flight Engineer / bomb Aimer with 77ops.
(Right) F/S Weston Appleby DFM and a Belgian Croix de Guerre with palm was the mid upper Gunner. 80 ops.
(Left) F/S Bert Wilson DFM wireless operator 76 ops.

Many thanks go to:

Jack Watson for allowing us to use his photos, Jack had no idea we was going to use this photo of him and some of his close friends from his crew.

Les Jones with his help obtaining permission to use the wall and his help throughout the weekend.

William Hunt for allowing us to use his wall
