ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
The RAF Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, unveiled in 2012, commemorates the 55,573 aircrew of Bomber Command who died in the Second World War — men from Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other Allied nations. At its centre stands a bronze group of a seven-man bomber crew. The memorial also remembers civilians of all nations killed in the bombing.
