Remembering a Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot who never came home.
A new display has been created at The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in memory of Flight Sgt Harold Kenneth Hall.
We welcomed his nieces, Ann Titley & Judith Manser, to attend the ceremony and participate in the unveiling of the window
Ken Hall worked as a designer at Royal Doulton before enlisting during the Second World War.
On May 7th 1941, he was escorting Blenheim bombers on a coastal raid when he followed a German fighter into a cloud and was never seen again.
He was declared missing in action, later presumed killed in action.
The new display ensures Ken's service and sacrifice continue to be remembered in his home city.
Also in attendance were
Deputy Lord Mayor Councillor Chris Robinson.

388 Squadron Royal Air Force Air Cadets provided a guard of honour.
