RAF Bradwell, Essex

Working in Bradwell, Essex today, came across a sign for a memorial. Some attached pics, unfortunately only had works phone with me. Names of RAF, RNZAF, RCAF and RAAF Airmen, and 1 Belgian.

Thanks 51H, great pics. Very interesting to see the actual memorial using a nose down Mossie. Though artistic it is rather disconcertiing to see an aircraft that looks like it's dived into the ground. I wonder who decided upon that?

Will have to check the names to find out their backgrounds etc

That was my first thought as well, Kyt.

Excellent pics, 51H. Thanks for taking the time to share.
