Ensuring they are remembered for generations to come
During the Second World War, the 125,000 volunteers of Bomber Command were willing to give everything to defeat Nazi oppression. In fact 55,573 of these young men paid the ultimate price with their lives. The Bomber Command Time Capsule is our chance to say thank you to ensure they are remembered forever.
The Bomber Command Time Capsule will contain the name, rank and number of all 125,000 aircrew who were a part of RAF Bomber Command. Importantly though, it will also contain the messages and photographs sent in by those who wish to make special mention of particular veterans.
When the RAF Bomber Command Memorial is completed, The Bomber Command Time Capsule will be sunk into the foundations of the Memorial and will remain safely embedded in it for thousands of years to come, ensuring that the names of these legends endure and they are never forgotten.
All the money raised by the Bomber Command Time capsule will go to the RAF Bomber Command Memorial Fund. This Fund has been created to ensure the completion of the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, London. We are still fundraising for the long term maintenance and upkeep of the Memorial and for the Dedication and Unveiling of the Memorial in June. So please upload your personal message to the Time Capsule or simply make a donation.
Your support is greatly appreciated and it will ensure that the names and stories of these legends live on forever.
