Hi,

I was up by the RAF Banff Memorial a few weeks ago. A number of trees have also been planted and there is one dedicated to each Squadron of the Banff Strike Wing. I think there is also a bench with a plaque on its as well.

I took photos of the Memorial but not the trees/bench.





The smaller stone is dedicated to the work of 10 (P) AFU.

Alex
