RAF Association Remembrance Garden: Remembrance Stone

For a suggested donation of £250, a 200mm x 200mm remembrance stone commemorating an individual, group or organisation can be laid alongside the pathway which leads to the garden and around the central feature. The grey Zephyr stone will feature an inscription set in stainless steel, headed with the RAF Association Wings emblem, to complement the design of the central feature.

To ensure uniformity, the inscription for an individual will comprise the name of the person, without rank, squadron or personal message. Where space allows, recognised abbreviations of appropriate decorations, such as DFC, OBE etc can be included after the name.

The inscription for a RAF Association branch will comprise the branch number, followed by the branch name:

Orders for the stones will be placed in batches of a minimum of 10. Once the order has been placed, it will take approximately 12 weeks for your stone to be inscribed and laid in the garden.

For further information, please call Vinny Manak on 0116 266 5224 or email at .

RAF Association Remembrance Stone Inscription

To ensure uniformity, the inscription on your stone will be based on the following. Please note that, due to the natural characteristics of the stone, we are unable to add any additional letters to the template.

·  The inscription for a person will comprise the name and, where space allows, recognised abbreviations of appropriate decorations, such as MBE.

·  The inscription for an organisation or a group, such as a RAF Association branch, will comprise the number and the name.

A maximum of 3 lines of text is available and reach line allows a maximum of 16 characters including spaces. The inscription will be in Arial font in upper case text.

The inscribers will centre and arrange the text on each line in the most appropriate way, so the final design may vary.

Please print your inscription in capital letters. Allow one box for each character, for each space between names and for any appropriate punctuation, such as a hyphen.

Once completed and signed, please return with the order form to Vinny Manak, Royal Air Forces Association, Headquarters, Atlas House, Wembley Road, Leicester. LE3 1UT/

Thank you.
