Red K6 Telephone Box

In 1935 the K6 (kiosk number six) was designed to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V.
K6 was the first red telephone kiosk to be extensively used outside London, and many thousands were deployed in virtually every town and city, replacing most of the existing kiosks and establishing thousands of new sites. It has become a British icon, although it was not universally loved at the start. The red colour caused particular local difficulties and there were many requests for less visible colours. The red that is now much loved was then anything but, and the Post Office was forced into allowing a less strident grey with red glazing bars scheme for areas of natural and architectural beauty. Some of these areas that have preserved their telephone boxes have now painted them red.

Bomber Command Memorial service

Of the 110,000 who flew with Bomber Command, 55,573 never returned, having made the ultimate sacrifice. For many of them the white cliffs of Beachy Head were the very last sight of their homeland. Beachy Head was the point of departure from British soil for all RAF bombing raids to targets in the central, southern and eastern parts of enemy territory. The more direct route from the many RAF bases in central and northern England would have been across East Anglia. This route could not be used because of the huge presence of the 8th USAAF in that area.
