Bomber Boys: They Came, They Served, They Live On in Remembrance

Base31

History & heritage

Join Ian Robertson, journalist and author of Camp Picton: Wartime to Peacetime, and Karen MacNeil, author of The Boys Nobody Talks About, for an afternoon of discovery and reflection.

Ian will share photos, stories and anecdotes as he weaves together the tale of No. 31 Bombing and Gunnery School, RAF, Picton and the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan that was behind its creation.

Karen will take you through her personal journey to uncover the long-hidden truths about the bomber boys in her family – the two uncles who never made it home and the Dad who somehow carried on.

Bomber Boys - They Came, They Served, They Live On in Remembrance is apart of the Beyond the Base: A History Story Series.
