It's set to be an amazing spectacle
Villagers will look to the skies as they remember those who gave their lives whilst serving at an airfield on the border of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. The day will be a poignant one for those in Langar as they hold a commemoration service at the 207 Squadron Memorial at Langar Airfield, on the road between the villages of Langar and Harby.
The bomb aimer, Thomas Skelton, at 19, was newly married to the late Dorothy Ware, and she wanted a memorial erected to 207, which happened in 1994, and was recently refurbished by Belvoir Rail Company of Cotgrave, and a new bench seat provided by Rushcliffe Borough Council.Councillor John Crosby, of Langar cum Barnstone Parish Council, said: "Without Dorothy or the generosity of Roland Gale, owner of the airfield, the memorial may never have been dedicated.
"So my belief is that this crew deserves to be remembered and in doing say also the memory of Dorothy Ware, and all those that were instrumental in forming and serving on the memorial committee," added Councillor Crosby.
