BBC show pays tribute to Bomber Command

A humbling show on the BBC tonight paying tribute to the airmen of Bomber Command.

The youngest of the RAF veterans is today 88 years old. Some of them are still in remarkably good nick.

The Portland stone memorial contains the bronze figures of seven airmen who are depicted having just returned from a mission. Their eyes search the sky for other aircraft, aware that some of their comrades will not be coming back.
