Northolt Commemoration Ceremony at Polish Air Force Memorial, South Ruislip, Middlesex.

The annual and 58th Ceremony of Homage to Fallen Polish Airmen during World War II will be held at the Polish Air Force Memorial at Northolt on Saturday 1 September. The ceremony will be conducted in both English and Polish and everyone is welcome.

Wreaths will be laid by representatives of the Polish and British governments, local authorities, the Air Force and the Royal Air Force. Veterans of individual squadrons or their descendants will lay wreaths for each Polish squadron that flew alongside the RAF from 1940 to 1945.

The replica of the wartime Wilno Standard of the Polish Air Force will be paraded and the ceremony will also feature a detachment of Officer Cadets from the Polish Air Force Academy, Dęblin, trumpeter and drummer of the Central Band of the RAF, and the band of the Middlesex Wing of the Air Training Corps. Young people from the various Polish schools in London, in addition to the Polish Scouts and Guides, will also participate.

There will be a flypast by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at the end of the ceremony, subject to contingencies and weather.

If it’s possible please visit, especially if you’ve not been inside. Secondly, because the more people visit, the more likely that it will remain accessible in future.

Breakspear Road South closure extended

Posted on August 10, 2018 by David Tebbutt

This just in from HS2:

Road closure of Breakspear Road South

Further to our update of 6 July 2018, whilst carrying out work to divert the water pipeline, Affinity Water have encountered some unexpected services within the carriageway which has required deeper excavations. The consequence of this is a delay to completing the works. We therefore need to extend the works to Friday 17 August 2018 and the closure of Breakspear Road South will remain in place until this date. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.

Planned Euston shutdowns

Posted on August 4, 2018 by David Tebbutt

We received the following notice from Virgin Trains:

We’re contacting you to let you know about some engineering works that will completely close London Euston on 18-19, 25-27 August and 1-2 September.

There will be no services to or from London Euston across these dates, so we recommend that you don’t attempt to travel from the station on these dates. If you need to travel on these dates and plan to use alternative routes, please plan your trip carefully, allow a bit longer to get to your destination and double-check your journey plans before you travel.

We’d hate for you to get stuck. Please visit virgintrains.co.uk.
