Logistics Squadron memorial garden open

It is with pride that Logistics Squadron at Royal Air Force Brize Norton have completed their garden; a dedicated space created to honour and remember personnel, whilst offering a peaceful place for reflection, healing and connection.

Designed by personnel on the squadron, the space reflects the Station’s commitment to remembrance, resilience and togetherness. The garden was made possible through whole Squadron support, in their own time. Their contributions ensure that the garden will serve as a lasting tribute.

 Flight Lieutenant McCallum said:

“It has been genuinely impressive to see this project come to fruition; starting as a Tea Bar project and escalating to a completely redefined social and memorial space. Through the drive and determination of our Squadron personnel, led in great part by Acting Sergeant Chris Wright, it has culminated in an area that Logs personnel can rightly take a great deal of pride in. I wholeheartedly commend the numerous sections and contractors who leaned in to assist the Squadron, and without their help, this project would not have been possible”

Viewing the garden from a right oblique perspective

This project has shown the quality and character of Junior Non-Commissioned Officers and Aviators, demonstrating their ethos by undertaking a project that benefits everyone within the Squadron for years to come.

Acting Sergeant Chris Wright added:

“The memorial garden stands as a testament to the fact that there are no limits to what we can achieve when we work together. Through the generosity of service personnel and contractors across the station, and with contributions of time and spare materials, the memorial garden evolved beyond its original design into a space of greater beauty and significance.”
