This week's Kent on Sunday contains an article confirming that a new memorial is to be unveiled on the village green at Westbere near Canterbury.

It is in memory of two Pilots killed during the Battle of Britain over the village. The pilots were Pilot Officer J W Bland and Flying Officer F Gruszka.

The unveiling will take place at 1.30 on 18 August, within minutes of the of the reported times of death on the same day 70 years earlier.

Hi REF

Unfortunately I couldn't make the unveiling but if you go onto the Kent History Forum and the Gravesend airport/RAF Gravesend section photos are posted on there by someone who attended.
