IN April 2005, an historic ceremony took place unveiling a granite memorial at the gateway to St. Eval Church, between Newquay and Wadebridge, Cornwall.

Over 1,000 aircrew and ground staff lost their lives at RAF St. Eval between 1939-1959 whilst the station was operational.

It was one of the largest operation stations during World War Two.

All ranks from 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. They have two reunions every year, in April and September, and two newsletters in January and July.

Information can be obtained from Ray Massey on 01925 755556 or Ken Wilson on 01514 243263.
