MY sister Ruth Bell sent me a link to Dan Robinson’s article (June 6) regarding the former RAF Broadwell, near Burford, in which she was quoted.
It is such a pity that so many RAF bases such as Broadwell, and the airmen (such as our father Phil) who were based there, have lain forgotten and overlooked for so long.
So it is gratifying to see that despite the advance of progress, a memorial is to be established at RAF Broadwell to remind current generations of the bravery and sacrifice of these young men during World War II. Next time we are in England, we will certainly be going to Broadwell to visit the site and see the memorial.
