The Bomber Command Memorial was unveiled on 2 June 2013 at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, coinciding with the Bomber Command Commemorative Day that year. 

The Bomber Command Memorial commemorates the service and sacrifice of the RAAF air and ground crews who served and died with Bomber Command during the Second World War. It contains specific references to elements of the Bomber Command experience: bombing operations by night and searchlights which posed a major threat; Bomber Command air and ground crews; and eight of the aircraft types flown by Bomber Command (Halifax, Wellington, Lancaster, Mosquito, Stirling, Blenheim, Whitely and Hampden).
