The RAF Memorial

The RAF Benevolent Fund was originally known as the RAF Memorial Fund, as one of its founding objectives was to construct a monument to all the airmen who had perished during World War One.

The memorial was completed in 1923, and can still be seen on Victoria Embankment - a gilded Eagle on a pedestal of Portland Stone, looking out over the Thames in the direction of France.
