The memorial records the names of 151
Typhoon pilots who lost their lives in
Normandy during 1944, many of them in
support of the D-Day landings and the
subsequent Battle of Normandy. It also
honours the ground crews who armed and
serviced the aircraft to keep them flying
The flame of remembrance links the
famous Hawker Typhoon with its present-
day counterpart, the Eurofighter
Typhoon.
A plaque in the nearby Noyers Bocage
church commemorates all of the 666
Typhoon personnel who lost
their lives during the war.

Our Logo
The TECT Logo is derived from the Typhoon Memorial at Noyers Bocage, South-West
of Caen in Basse-Normandie, an area where Typhoons were especially active in
supporting the breakout from the invasion beachhead.
