The military funeral service for the crew of RAAF Beaufort Bomber A9-217

On 15 November 1943, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Beaufort Bomber A9-217 with a crew of four went missing somewhere between Rabaul, New Britain and Goodenough Island in the Solomon Sea. The aircraft was one of 12 Beauforts engaged in a torpedo attack on enemy shipping near Rabaul Harbour. During the return trip from the mission the aircraft became separated and A9-217 was last seen at the southern end of St George's Channel. Army observer personnel stationed on Kawa Island, which is located approximately 80 kilometres west of the Trobriand Island group and 100 kilometres north of the Vivigani Base, saw an aircraft in trouble crash into the sea nearby. A patro; boat from Kiriwina Island was dispatched to the area to investigate, and upon arrival, it located a fuel tank belonging to the crashed arcraft. No survivors were found at the scene and the crew were officially reported as missing, presumed dead.

In January 2000 Air Force Headquarters was notified that wreckage of an aircraft had recently been discovered lying in 18 metres of water mear Kawa Island. Investigations of the site were conducted and aircraft positively identified as A9-217. In March 2001 an Air Force team successfully recovered the remains of the four crew from the wreckaed aircraft. The airmen were laid to rest with full military honours at the Rabaul (Bita Paka) War Cemetery on 2 May 2001.

Remembrance Sunday at Coventry Cathedral

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.

As ringers, we do our best to honour the people who laid down their lives for this country, from the Great War right through to those who have died very recently in conflict ongoing. The Remembrance ceremonies are especially poigniant here at Coventry Cathedral as it was destroyed in WWII, and there is indeed still a wall memorial to the members of the 7th Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regment who died in the first World War, which was damaged in the destruction of the Cathedral. It is visible at about 30 seconds in. Also underneath is a poppy wreath from the local Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. At the end of the video I visit some small remembrance crosses with individual names of soldiers who died.
