His Majesty King George VI approved a goose volant in December 1937. It was chosen as a play on the word 'Anson', which the Squadron was flying when the badge was being designed, and ‘Anser’ which is the Latin word for Goose. As the goose is a fast day and night flyer and one of the heavier wild fowl, it was deemed appropriate for a Bomber Squadron.

A Memorial was unveiled to the crew of Halifax HR 836, which crashed on 24 May 1943 in Oegstgeest, the Netherlands. The memorial is placed on the site where the Halifax crashed. Four of the crew members are buried in a local cemetery.
Thanks to Dik Winkelman, Oegstgeest, The Netherlands for the pictures. Check out the Events Section.  |

Renee's Corner A Memorial service was held for Jim Nicholson in April. He had left his body for research so there was no funeral. It was to be his birthday on 16th April and I sent him a card, posted on the 14th and sadly he then passed away. The Dutch people of Grijpskerk were very fond of Jim and there is a tree in the Pollington Airfield Garden (ex RAF Snaith) which was planted by Jim in memory of their freedom on 4th May.
