Delegation from Dronten present at Remembrance Day in Edinburgh
Since 2019, we have been in contact with history teacher Dave Clark from Stewart's Melville College in Edinburgh, Scotland. William Ward, one of the crew members of the Lancaster ED 357 of the Vliegersmonument, was a student at this school. From this contact arose the desire to connect young people from this school with young people from a school in Dronten. This worked.

From 9 to 11 November 27 students and 3 teachers from Almere College in Dronten visited Edinburgh to attend Remembrance Day. In addition to the students and teachers, Mayor Gebben and board members of the Stichting 4 mei Herdenking Dronten were present. A reporter and cameraman from Omroep Flevoland were present to report and to make a documentary about William Ward. See for more information the news item from Omroep Flevoland.
