The Bomber and the Weathervane

The Bomber and the Weathervane

The Bomber and the Weathervane

10/01/2025 by Tony.aston

This is a compelling story of wartime bravery, unbridled passion and eternal remembrance. The author has captured the drive, emotion and fervency of husband and wife, Helen and John, their story of commemorating the crew of a WWII Lancaster bomber shot down in 1944 with all souls lost, then drawing together, nearly 80 years later and for the first time, family descendants of the crew in an emotional and poignant war memorial dedication, all as a result of the finding of an old, beaten up, metal weathervane, fashioned in the shape of a Lancaster bomber, buried amongst a myriad of items for sale at a salvage yard in leafy Surrey.
