RAF Museum calls for personnel memories in Pilots of the Caribbean exhibition
The Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum is appealing to black service personnel to offer their memories ahead of an exhibition honouring volunteers from Britain, the Caribbean and Africa who fought in the World Wars.
Pilots of the Caribbean will reflect on the part played by Afro-Caribbean men and women in the development of modern Britain.
“Although we have a wealth of archive materials to draw from, we would welcome stories and photographs from former and serving black Royal Air Force personnel and their families,” said Director General Peter Dye.
Email [email protected] to contribute. Pilots of the Caribbean : Volunteers of African Heritage in the Royal Air Force opens at the Royal Air Force Museum on November 1 2013.
