Brize Norton – Superbase (taster)

Later this year on Sky there will be a documentary all about life at RAF Brize Norton. On Armed Forces Day, at the unveiling of the Repatriation Memorial Bell I did an interview for the documentary in my capacity as Town Mayor. The taster film has now been removed by the producers, but check back for any updates.

Unveiling the Memorial Bell

The Memorial bell, which will toll during repatriation ceremonies at the Memorial Garden in Norton Way, was officially unveiled yesterday. The tenor bell was commissioned by members of the local community, supported by the Oxfordshire branch of the Royal British Legion. The bell was made at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London and is 31in (79cm) wide and 25in (63cm) high.suspended in a frame constructed  by Whites of Appleton, from Oxfordshire Oak.

The Ceremony was attended by The Duke of Marlborough, The Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, The Bishop of Dorchester, The Chairman of West Oxfordshire District Council, The Chairman of Brize Norton Parish Council and myself. The Bell was unveiled by Lee Mackie, Elli Simmons, Mike Bulley and a resident from the village of Brize Norton.
