| This memorial to those
who served at Stradishall is in the form of black marble
tablets mounted on opposing faces of a massive brick plinth.
The other tablet shows a map of the airfield, and a list of those units who served at Stradishall. 207 Squadron was at Stradishall flying Lancasters from November 1946 to February 1949, under Sqn Ldr Peter Boggis DFC and Sqn Ldr Guy Hogan DFC. It was unveiled by an ex-35 Sqn pilot whose crew room was opposite 207's - MRAF Sir Michael Beetham - on 29th May 1994. A Squadron photograph taken in November 1947
can be seen here. The Memorial is in the grounds of what is now HM Prison, Highpoint. |
