100 years of raaf

HM THE QUEEN MARKS 100 YEARS OF RAAF AT RUNNYMEDE

A fly past and wreath laying in honour of the RAAF personnel who have given their lives in the past 100 years took place at the event earlier today (Wednesday 31 March).

“Around the world, the sacrifice of men and women from the Commonwealth lives on through the memorials and graves that bear their names. A century on from their formation, the RAAF’s duties at home and abroad remain as strong as ever, as does our commitment at CWGC to remember their fallen forebears.”
