WWII Airmen Honoured With Waltham Flagpole

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

Waltham FlagpoleTo honour the Waltham RAF service-men who fought in the Second World War but did not return to their nearby base, the villagers of Waltham, Lincolnshire, have installed a commemorative civic flagpole as a memorial to the air-men.

The flagpole will be used to hoist the official flag of 100 Squadron, whose base was the now closed Waltham airfield. The flagpole will also be used to hoist the national flag.

A donation of £750 made by Waltham ward councillors Iain Colquhoun and Philip Jackson funded the purchase of the flagpole.

Paul Teanby, parish councillor for Waltham, said that as the village had such strong links with military aviation history, it was important to mark the continuing dedication of the armed forces.

“We have our own history here with 100 Squadron and we need to mark this,” he said. “Once all the work is done, it will be a great focus point in the village.”

At its most basic, a design can be imprinted on fabric with a simple pencil, block or screen print but there are plenty of advantages for looking to the latest technologies.
