During World War II, more than 10,000 Australians served in the Royal Air Force’s Bomber Command with more than one-third paying the ultimate sacrifice.  The annual RAAF / Air Force Association (South Australia) Bomber Command Commemorative Service honours those who served in Bomber Command and the many who did not return.

RAAF Base Amberley is hosting a memorial service to recognise aircrew and ground crew who served in Bomber Command during World War 2.

During World War II, the Royal Australian Air Force established a Bombing and Gunnery School (2BAGS) at Port Pirie in June 1941. The function of these schools was to teach bombing and aerial gunnery in accordance with the standard Royal Air Force syllabus.

A commemorative service will be held to honour their memories and recognise their sacrifice.

RAAF Base Richmond will host a History Symposium for the Air Force Centenary. The Symposium will include a five-hour Walking Tour of the base on 30 June 2021, recounting and the base’s history and contribution to aviation in Australia since 1912.
