Lissett Memorial

Memorial to 158 Squadron

Monday 10th August 2015

Driving past Lissett airfield this evening as the sun was starting to go down. I stopped to take a photograph of the seven metal airmen. They form the memorial to the 851 men and women from 158 Squadron who lost their lives whilst serving with the Squadron. The airfield was used for Halifax bomber missions between 1943 and 1946. The 851 names are etched onto both sides of the metal figures. The sculptor was Peter Naylor from Beverley. My shot was low down and silhouette, to bring out the faces and togetherness of a crew about to embark on a night mission.
