by David King:
The story behind the Society, however, stretches back for more than five decades.
Chapter one
The first 11 years in which aircraft crash sites in Buckinghamshire and the surrounding counties were investigated and compiled into a comprehensive lost list. Many site investigations and a number of major aircraft recoveries took place.
Chapter Two
By 1981 a number of the larger items recovered from crash sites were stored in one of the main hangars at Booker Airfield, the need for them to be preserved, displayed and researched became the most prominent focus for our Chairman David King at this time. This chapter therefore describes the building of the Booker Aircraft Museum and its development.
In April 1994 the Aircrew Remembrance Society was formed, enabling us to continue our research and remembrance work. This section covers the Society's development activities in all work categories we cover, and in turn explains the Society's development and website evolution.
