Welcome To
The grove of thirty-nine trees stand as a tribute to the personnel who were killed on the Airlift and are
fruit trees, which will blossom in May to commemorate the end of the blockade on the 12th May and
bear fruit to represent the supplies of food and other commodities flown into West Berlin.
The memorial simulates the 'Airbridge' into and out of Berlin from the western zones of Germany
with the three corridors standing proud of the main structure. The eagle represents the British and
Commonwealth contribution to the first victory in the Cold War.
The memorial Sculptor was Andy DeComyn and the eagle was made by Peter Benson and his team
of the Essex School of Woodcarvers
