Description
The panels - "walls of names" - at the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) on Canwick Hill outside Lincoln, list almost 58,000 men and women who lost their lives serving or supporting Bomber Command during WWII. There are 270 panels made from engraved sheets of weathering steel which is designed to rust and not require painting. They record names but not ranks or decorations, on the principle that every life lost in Bomber Command was equal in sacrifice.
Chadwick Centre
The Chadwick Centre at the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) on Canwick Hill outside Lincoln, named after the designer of the Lancaster bomber, Roy Chadwick. When completed, it will be an education centre, exhibition space, reference library, and museum relating the story of Bomber Command, including the effects of bombing on civilian populations.
A donation from the sale of this image will go to the IBCC.
