SIR - More than a thousand aircrew and ground staff lost their lives at RAF St Eval between 1939 and 1959. In April 2005, a historic ceremony took place unveiling a granite memorial at the gateway to St Uvelus Church, St Eval. While not much remains of the airfield today, it was one of the largest operational stations during the Second World War.

All ranks from the RAF, WAAF and WRAF, or next of kin, who served at RAF St Eval are invited to join the RAF St Eval Coastal Command Association. For more details, contact Jude Durant Telephone No. 01332 572948 or Fred Abbott Telephone No. 01255 434424
