Description
Dallachy, Scotland. 1992-07-20. The RAF Dallachy Strike Wing Memorial with wreaths laid at its base. The memorial inscription states that the memorial is dedicated to those who served with four RAF and Commonwealth Squadrons of the Dallachy Strike Wing who served between October 1944 and May 1945. The unit's Beaufighters made concentrated attacks on German vessels in the North Sea and along the Norwegian coast in the latter stages of World War II. The memorial includes a badge of No 455 Squadron RAAF who were based at Dallachy. Note the cottage at the top middle right. To the left of this is the old Operations Block which is now used as a farm shed. (Donor L. Clarke)
