A new seafront plaque to replace one stolen from Burnham’s sea wall to celebrate 60 years of the town’s Royal Air Forces Association was formally unveiled on Friday (October 31st).
Burnham-On-Sea.com first reported in September how the Royal Air Forces Association plaque near the top of the jetty had been stolen by thieves seeking scrap metal.
On Friday afternoon a sort ceremony was held to unveil the replacement, which has cost the RAFA a total of £400.
Laurence Lillycrop of the Burnham branch of the Royal Air Forces Association told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It shocked us that someone would steal such a wonderful plaque and that money has had to be spent on replacing it.”
The plaque was originally unveiled during a special ceremony in September 2006.
The Royal Air Forces Association promotes the welfare of all serving and former members of the UK’s Air Forces, their spouses and dependents.
