For many years now Clare has provided invaluable genealogy research material of a professional high standard, in support of our remembrance work in relation to the loss of fallen airmen. This in turn has helped us to bring assistance and closure for many families.

David was first interested in aviation as a young boy, building balsa wood Keil Kraft models and Airfix kits, like any youngster growing up in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He and his brother would also often visit there local aerodrome White Waltham, and often cadge a flight which contributed greatly to his life time interest in aviation, with many of the war time aircraft still in use like Anson’s and Mosquitos still using the local airfields.

Steve Hall - Contributor & Supporter

Steve was one of the pioneers of what would come to be known as Aviation Archaeology, formerly as a member of the Wealden Aviation group and, amongst other things, one of the originators of the concept of a museum at Tangmere. Steve worked for many years with our previous Luftwaffe historian, he enriched the lives of all of us that were privileged to know him. 

We will never forget his friendship, kindness and his sense of humour, always the prankster and comedian he would often lead you on with some yarn, so you always had to stay sharp. Along with these precious memories Steve also leaves us another Legacy, that which is the large catalogue of historical aviation archives, work collated by him over many decades, much of which was undertaken before the computer age, when letter writing was the means of communication that had to be used. Without this painstaking work hundreds of documents, photos and stories would have been lost. The Aircrew Remembrance Society is proud to be able to reproduce much of his work in many of our web site remembrance pages, a legacy which now in turn is a lasting memorial of remembrance to this legend in our field. Our Missing Man, Our Friend, Steven Hall.
