Flt. Sgt. Charles Sydney RAF Memorial

2018 MEMORIAL EVENT: The Friends of Flight Sergeant Charles Sydney will hold the 2018 Memorial event on Saturday 29 September at 11am. The Revd Jonny Blair of St. Mary’s and St. John’s Church Walton-on-Thames will lead the service. See the photos below of the 2017 event.

The memorial is located on Station Avenue, Walton-on-Thames, walking towards Halfway from the railway station.

Special update 2020. The memorial has been temporarily removed whilst construction work is under way.

BACKGROUND: In 2000 Elmbridge Council placed a memorial to Flt. Sgt, Charles Sydney whose Spitfire was shot down down on 27th September 1940 over Station Avenue during the Battle of Britain.

After the memorial was vandalised in 2010, volunteers and Councillors decided to form ‘The Friends of Charles Sydney RAF’ and to hold a short memorial service every year for all those lost in conflict on or around the September anniversary.

Since then the group of volunteers have created the small area for ‘quiet reflection’ together with a dedicated bench and flower bowers handmade by a local volunteer.
