LINCOLN REUNION

Many thanks to all members who came or made a donation to our recent very successful Reunion at the Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa, Lincs

There was a great turnout. After four last minute unavoidable cancellations, plus a very late addition, 61 members attended the Meet & Greet and 84 attended the Dinner.

Members enjoyed great visits to the International Bomber Command Centre and East Kirkby. The hotel venue was outstanding, with all of its aviation military history behind it.

We had an inspiring update too on Sqn activities from Pete Wilson and it is clear that 201 Sqn is very busy but with high morale and excellent leadership.

If you have any photos of the Reunion that you would like to share for our website, please send them to me on chair@201squadronassociation.com.

IBCC DONATION

The IBCC visit highlighted what an excellent job has been made in researching and developing a digital data base of all involved in the Bomber Command war; not just the aircrew but everybody who supported on the ground, in any capacity.

Many of you will have seen that in conjunction with the Coastal Command Association, from yesterday 1st September, 12,500 names from Coastal Command have been included in the IBCC digital data base and will be shown on memory walls at IBCC.

During the Reunion we held raffles at both the Meet & Greet and Dinner, raising £1250. Our finances are very healthy, so in line with a previous donation in 2025 to Pembroke Dock to assist in relocating the Window to its original home, your committee has donated £600 from the Association to the IBCC to assist in their very expensive work integraring the Coastal Command names into their work.

If you can also donate personally, you can do so via the IBCC website:
