Welcome to Downham Market Airfield Cairn Memorial Website

The Downham Market Airfield Cairn memorial is a tribute to the brave servicemen and women who served at RAF Downham Market, Norfolk, England, a pivotal Royal Air Force Bomber Station from July 1942 to September 1945. This memorial aims to inspire pride and a sense of belonging in the community, reminding everyone of their shared history and sacrifice. The memorial, created by Chris Coverdale, seeks to inspire pride and strengthen community bonds. Your support helps keep this history alive and makes you an essential part of honouring our veterans. If you're able to donate, it would be much appreciated. You can do this through the GoFundMe page.

On 7 July 2026, the Downham Market Airfield Cairn memorial was blessed in a ceremony by R.A.F. Marham, showcasing the community's pride and collective effort in remembrance and fostering a sense of unity.

Please note: Because of high renewal costs and limited donations since the blessing service, I've updated the website content and reduced it to manage costs. Sadly, with no funding available and no donations going to the website GoFundMe page,  I do not have the means to continue the website as I would have liked. I guess it is the sign of the times. I will be opening a proper Facebook account, which i;m told is free and will see
