23rd May 1943, Bournemouth, a large Personnel and Reception Centre, was bombed on a hit and run raid by Fw190s. The Hotel Metropole was hit and a number of RCAF personnel perished. Today I visited the cemetery where RCAF members were buried (and note that 3 were from 408Sqn) because on Thursday a memorial will be unveiled very close to the site of the former Metropole Hotel.
In memory
Steve Robson (former RAF)

I was so pleased to come across this website. I have forwarded the information to my grown children to let them know a bit more about their grandfather (my father) whom they never had a chance to meet. We have a picture of him (William Alfred Russell) receiving a DFC from King George V and it\'s good to have some script to include with this memory. Many thanks!
