Bomber Command Memorial

Over by the Imperial War Museum yesterday I had some time to kill on my own so headed over to the Bomber Command Memorial on the edge of The Green Park. It was about 2.5 miles away but there's no parking nearby so I walked.

The memorial was unveiled almost 10 years ago and is an impressive tribute to the 55,573 bomber crew who lost their lives in WWII. The roof replicates the geodetic structure of the Wellington bomber and incorporates sections of aluminium from a Halifax bomber that crashed in 1944.
