Royal Air Force Beach Squadrons Memorial, Arromanches

A memorial to the Royal Air Force Beach Squadrons who landed in Normandy with the seaborne forces.

In recognition of the Royal Air Force Beach
Squadrons that landed in Normandy with
the seaborne assault forces.
The RAF Beach Squadrons worked in the
SWORD, JUNO and GOLD areas to facilitate
the build-up of RAF personnel, vehicles and
supplies vital to the operations of the 2nd
Tactical Air Force.
Men of these RAF beach units, some of whom
landed early in the morning of D-Day, worked
closely with their Army and Navy comrades
in the beach areas and showed the true spirit
of Combined Operations.
