Keeping the flame
burning
The perpetual flame at the heart
of the Typhoon Memorial at Noyers Bocage
symbolises the enduring memory of sacrifices
made by pilots during the Battle of Normandy
in 1944 and the intense experiences of
all who flew and operated the Hawker Typhoon
At the Memorial ceremony at Noyers Bocage in June 2015
it was declared that we were there for two reasons.
First we wished to honour and remember those who died
during the Battle of Normandy, both service personnel
and civilians.
Secondly we wished to pass the torch, symbolised by the
flame at the centre of the Memorial, to a new generation.
So, now the torch is passed to the RAF pilots and personnel
who operate the Eurofighter Typhoon, whose exploits
will uphold the traditions of service and adventure
established by previous generations
