Mailly-le-Camp

Post by Garysb »

Over the past few years our Air Cadet Squadron (119 Scunthorpe) has supported the Mailly-le-Camp Commemoration Support Group in the remembrance ceremonies in France

http://community.lincolnshire.gov.uk/Ma ... emoration/

Today it was the turn of a contingent from France to visit us and as part of this was a visit to the site of RAF Elsham Wolds in North Lincolnshire
The memorial to 103 & 576 Squadrons is inside the Anglian Water Works and includes a very fasinating couple of rooms as a museum

The museum is not accessible to the general public but can be viewed by appointment with the RAF Elsham Wolds Association

Lovely set of pictures in a very special looking place.
Nice to see the Pathfinder badge on the uniform as well, hadn't seen that for a long time.

Many thanks for posting.
