Bomber Command Memorial Funding

Additional Information

A group of war veterans have said they will be liable for a shortfall of more than £500,000 over the opening of the new Bomber Command Memorial.

The £6m memorial to 55,573 airmen who died during World War II was unveiled by the Queen in Green Park in June.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it had made an exception to contribute more than £1.5m towards it.

But the trustees of the charity that built it said the shortfall has left them facing financial ruin.

Given the £40m missuse of public funds for the Virgin / Western Trains franchise fiasco and continued funding of a war in Afghanistan, surely the MOD can contribute the oustanding funds.
