100 Squadron Memorial Book

In December 2022 the 100 Squadron Memorial Book, which is encased in a hand-made oak display cabinet, was re-located to the Side Chapel in Ripon Cathedral.

The Memorial Book has been displayed in the Station Church of St Bede’s at RAF Leeming for a number of years, but in light of 100 Sqn’s disbandment in June 2022, the future location and accessibility of the Memorial Book had to be determined. After discussions between 100 Sqn, The 100 Sqn Association, RAF Leeming Station Chaplaincy and The Dean and Chapter of Ripon Cathedral, it was decided that the Side Chapel in Ripon Cathedral was the most appropriate place. The Memorial Book, enclosed in its display cabinet, was taken to Ripon Cathedral on Tuesday 13th of December 2022, where it was handed over by Flt Lt John Pilling, Flt Lt Ollie Moncrieff and Padre John Hetherington, to the care of The Dean and Chapter of Ripon Cathedral. It now resides in the SideChapel beneath a previously laid-up Standard of 100 Sqn, where it will be more easily accessible to members of 100 Sqn Association as well as the general public.
