In July 2014, as an initiative of Dominique Gaillardin, the village of Bure commemorated the 70th anniversary of the loss of JB679.
 









49Sqn were represented by Chairman Stuart Keay, his wife Pat and Alan Mitchell.

The Association would like to offer sincere thanks to Dominique and Jean-Luc Gaillardin for their incredible amount of hard work over many years.
