In honour of the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, we are building a timeless permanent Polish Air Force Memorial in Kraków exhibit —for you, and for all who value freedom, courage, and remembrance. The design was inspired by the PAF Memorial in Normandy our practice was able to built and unveil for D-DAY 75.
This memorial celebrates the extraordinary contribution of Polish airmen, who made up just 5% of RAF fighter strength but secured 12% of total victories. No. 303 Squadron** became the most successful Allied unit of the campaign, and 29 Polish pilots gave their lives in the Battle of Britain. Through your pledges, we’re transforming these heroic stories into steel—visible, lasting, and educational.
The memorial’s construction is being monitored by AS Architects, a respected international Chartered Practice, ensuring the highest standards of professional oversight and architectural integrity.
A Crowdfunding campaign has been kicked off as part of a community effort to raise funds for the steelworks. Reaching our first milestone—10% of our fundraising goal—will unlock new channels for additional funding, including matched contributions and institutional support.
Hope to see you soon at the opening of the Memorial !
To honour your generosity:
Pledges of **£10, £20, or £40** will earn a place on our **Plaque of Memory** at the site, and a **limited-edition BoB85 PAF RAF Pin Badge**—a symbol of remembrance and gratitude.
