Unfortunately the 6 Group Bomber Command Association reunion mentioned below has been cancelled, mainly due to health problems among the UK committee.

To quote Ken Cothliff, Chairman of the 6 (RCAF) Group Bomber Command Association, after he had learned that two of his stalwart committee members would not be able to participate further because of health problems: 
"We need a team here to make it work and we need numbers to ensure a dignity of an event that would include a service at York Minster, and a Mess Dinner at RAF Linton on Ouse. Both are not forthcoming, and I had to take the sad decision to cancel. There could have been nothing worse than several people gathered together in York Minster, or the Museum. I couldn't keep those of you over the 'pond' on tenterhooks, over whether it was on or off, especially with the flights needing to be booked.
 
"However, as I'm here in Yorkshire, I would be pleased to personally help anyone coming over, and our Treasurer, Audrey who lives in York will also meet and help any visitors. I can offer guided tours around the 6 Group area, and have contacts at many of the old airfields, and the Yorkshire Air Museum, and can provide assistance with transport. If any groups of Canadians want to come over, I'm delighted to help in any way I can."

We've been making additions and corrections to the site as time allows, but haven't been keeping up with the what's new page. We'll probably get nothing more than a lump of coal from Santa for that.

Here is an important announcement for anyone interested in attending a final 6 Group Reunion in York, England which was sent to us today:
