Just a quick update that follows on from the picture I wrote about in January. It was commissioned by Kev Ruane to take to the unveiling of a memorial in a small town in Austria, Adnet, where 619 Squadron Lancaster "F for Freddy" crashed in flames in the last days of World War II.
The unveiling of the memorial took place in a moving ceremony in glorious weather towards the end of April, the 70th anniversary of the loss. It was a tremendous coming together of relatives, friends, dignataries and others with an interest, from multiple countries.
You can read more about that on the website Kev maintains, and there was a rather fine piece broadcast on CBC – four of the Lanc's seven crew were Canadian. I don't know how long CBC keep their archive active but as I write this is the link to it.
