During the Exercise, a visit was made to The Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery in the western part of the town of Arras. Within the Cemetery, the Flying Services Memorial commemorates nearly 1,000 airmen of the Royal Naval Air Service, the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), and the Royal Air Force, either by attachment from other arms of the forces of the Commonwealth or by original enlistment, who were killed on the whole Western Front and who have no known grave. At Easter in 1917, whilst the British and Canadians were launching their assaults in the Arras and Vimy areas, the RFC was fighting a desperate battle in the air. During what would be called Bloody April, 131 RFC aircraft were lost: a third of its fighting strength. The flight of doves on the globe at the top of the Memorial follows the exact path of the sun on Armistice Day: 11 November 1918.

On 11 November of this year, Wing Commander Jim Beldon, the OC ICSC(Air), laid a wreath of poppies at the Memorial on behalf of the students and staff present and a 2-minute silence was observed. It was a truly moving experience on a cold, still, November morning to remember those who had given their lives so many years ago.
