Remembrance Day Is Everyday

15th August 2009 18,000 Records Entered to the Kracker Archive

18,000 Luftwaffe records have now been entered on the website as of the 15th August — a remarkable achievement and one that will assist us to make our Society the leader in the field. (This superb data base has taken 14 years to compile) We would like to express our gratitude to Tom Kracker for the information and also to Techie Services, Norwich, England for the web conversion work. This work will be continually updated as within 2 days of this being on our website we have had no less than 22 new pieces of information provided by our readers! We must insist that these files are not copied and the files are now subject to a ©.

Research & Correspondence

6th January Steven Hall, One of the Pioneers of Aviation Archaeology Passed Away.

On the 6th January we heard the sad news that Steve Hall had passed away. 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 M Brownless, 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.

Thank you for Visiting.
