1% of the Fallen now have faces. Spread the word. All airman lost in WW2 should be identified - lets get those photographs submitted.. rafcommands.com/cwgc/1-of-the-…
The airmen who wanted an "out" from the war rafcommands.com/serials/the-ai… Kick the tyre, light the fire and hope we make it to Eire!

RAF Commands retweeted
The usual mention on significant #WW2 days. Anyone inspired to find more on a serving relative. We're a collective of obsessives, specialising in UK & Commonwealth subjects. Free, & always will be. It's often astonishing what the chaps can turn up. ww2talk.com/index.php
So for the first time - the unaccounted airmen (whose cause of death is unknown) in the CWGC Database has dipped below 1500! .. we are just about 250 records away from getting up to 99% completion rafcommands.com/database/warde…
So what is this ac , regn and type? Hinaildi, Iraq 1929
A Hurricane in an unusual place in the far east rafcommands.com/articles/hurri…
Hurricane V7670 changed hands twice - once from RAF to the Luftwaffe and back to the RAF again.. ebay.co.uk/itm/1264344071…
We made a minor enhancement in our CWGC 'Causes of Death' / Accounted Airmen database search. All entries with a bomber command memorial entry will see a seperate IBCC link..
Rob Walker contributed three more images from261 Squadron at Ceylon , including salvage of Hurricane BG882 rafcommands.com/articles/hurri…
A mystery that is still left unsolved? The Tachikawa flying from Singapore to Crimea was supposedly shot down by the RAF - but was it? Or did it just go down over the ocean... would like to know more. rafcommands.com/articles/tachi…
