RAFA memorial with RAFPA memorial
Service memorials can be found across the world
with several dedicated to RAF in the UK. Other countries
have memorials for various branches of service and are an interesting way to
enrich travel abroad. Historical cities and those around ports are good
destinations to learn the military history of the location. Visitors to the US
can stay in hotels in
Virginia Beach VA and find several historical markers and memorials of
service related to naval and air operations around the military bases there.
Many travellers from around the country would do well to travel here and learn
and spread the history
of the RAF and its contributions to the world at
large.

The third Anniversary RAFP/RAFPA Memorial Parade at the National Memorial Arboretum
A poppy cross wreath was laid on the RAF Police Memorial at the National Arboretum on Saturday 3rd July 2010 by the Chairman of the Haverfordwest RBL, Ken Humphreys RAFPA and Taff Evans (Dogs) RAFPA. Ken and Taff were both at Laarbruch. They also visited the RAF Cosford museum on July 4th.
I took the attached photo of the WAAF Memorial which is near to ours at Alrewas. The WAAF Association donated £100 towards ours in 2007
