Remembrance Day 2024

10/11/2024

I was in Lincoln in early November and revisited the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC). I left a remembrance cross for the crew of ED559. Sadly, the the site and the ribbon stones had recently been subject to some flooding, and they are to be cleaned soon.
