We parked at the Runnymede carpark on the main road from Windsor and cut across the fields following the footpath up into the woods. After a pleasant walk up through the woods at Coopers Hill we arrived at the Air Forces Memorial. It was a beautiful building in white stone, a truly fitting memorial to all those lost men and (a few) women who served in the Air Force, from all around the Commonwealth, including Canada, Australia and India. Around a covered colonnade which enclosed a central square the walls were covered with the carved names of over 20,000 Air Force Personnel who were lost in action and did not have a permanent resting place. So sad and sombre seeing all those names. Even more poignant were the photos of the lost loved ones from all those years ago and messages and tokens from visiting families. The memorial really brought it home to us the sheer scale of those unfound numbers of young men and women. Not just numbers but real people with names and bereaved families. A very sobering visit. The centre of the memorial overlooked the surrounding countryside from its great vantagepoint and a couple of flights of stairs up to the top of the memorial and to really splendid views of the nearby areas, including over to Windsor Castle, towards Heathrow Airport and towards the taller buildings of London. A really interesting, if a little poignant, visit. Such a memorial will hopefully bring comfort to those visiting from afar to see the names of their long missing forebears carved in stone on a beautiful National Memorial.
