The
Bomber
Command
Memorial
is
one
of
several
commemorative
monuments
in
this
area
of
the
city.
This
one
in
particular
is
quite
impressive
to
see.
Here
you
will
find
a
well
designed
memorial
building
by
Liam
O'Connor
that
is
dedicated
to
the
55,573
aircrew
who
lost
their
lives
during
WWII.
The
memorial
was
only
recently
unveiled
to
the
public
in
2012.
Within
the
open
air
structure
with
large
columns,
you
can
see
the
attractive
2.7
meter
sculpture,
created
by
Philip
Jackson,
featuring
seven
crewman,
who
have
just
finished
a
flight
mission.
The
sculpture
is
quite
detailed
and
worthy
of
time
to
admire.
It
has
the
ability
to
invoke
strong
feelings
and
emotion.
Overall,
we
very
much
enjoyed
seeing
the
Bomber
Command
Memorial
and
find
it
to
be
a
nice
addition
to
the
collection
of
nearby
monuments
found
at
the
SE
Corner
of
Hyde
Park.
In
our
view,
this
memorial
is
well
worth
seeking
out
if
you
intend
to
spend
time
in
this
area
of
the
city.
Other
similar
monuments
nearby,
at
the
SE
corner
of
Hyde
Park,

the
Wellington
Arch,
Duke
of
Wellington
Statue,

Artillery
Memorial,
Machine
Gun
Corp
Memorial,
New
Zealand
Memorial,
Australia
Memorial.
