The charity has been erecting airfield markers across Britain since 2009. Some places commemorated by ABCT include:
-
Fambridge and Leysdown, the UK’s first airfields associated with aviation pioneers
-
Scotland’s first airfield, Lanark
- Leavesden, now home to the Warner Bros. Studios, where parts of the Harry Potter films were shot
We work all year round planning the marker programme and enjoy meeting a wide range of interesting people of all ages at our events. You can see more of our memorials in this section.
- memorials made of top quality granite
- weight: approximately 1.4 tons
- negligible foundations required
- generally do not require planning permission owing to their size
- only a tiny piece of redundant/unused ground at the airfield itself needed: no obstruction caused
- already received highly favourable feedback from the general public
- plan to erect 400 memorials by 2030
Costs
ABCT pays for the memorial and associated costs, though donations from other sources are always welcome.
