ABOUT US
This website is maintained by Kevin Troop and Colin Mitchell-Smith, who along with one or two others constitute the Faldingworth Memorial Group.
The group's aims are
Firstly: To keep alive the memory of those who served, both on the ground and in the air, at RAF/PAF Faldingworth during and immediately after the Second World War
Secondly; to maintain and improve the Faldingworth Memorials as described on this website.
The group is entirely voluntary and receives no official financial backing, and as such relies on donations to fund everything that is done. Without those donations, everything listed on this web site would not exist as most items were either donated or money was given to enable us to purchase items.
Without money being donated memorial days could not be held.
If you would like to help us or donate in any way, no matter how small, please contact us
The Faldingworth Memorials are located at two sites:
In Faldingworth All Saints church which is located on the A46 in Lincolnshire, there is a memorial plaque, a stained glass window, candlesticks, memorial books, commemorative gates, etc..
