On 30 March 2022, the last day of our 100th year, we dedicated a new memorial at RAAF Base Point Cook that will forever honour the 350,000 Australians who have served in the Royal Australian Air Force over our first century, including 11,191 Australians who died serving their nation.

Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Mel Hupfeld, AO, DSC, said the new Air Force Centenary Memorial was a special place to pause and reflect on what Air Force personnel had contributed to Australia since 1921, in times of conflict and in peace.

“This memorial stands at the birthplace of the Royal Australian Air Force, as a tribute to the generations of Australians who have proudly worn the Air Force uniform," Air Marshal Hupfeld said.

The dedication of the new memorial marked the formal conclusion of our Centenary program. The Centenary theme, ‘Then. Now. Always.’ is immortalised for future generations of aviators on the centrepiece of the memorial.
