The memorial, which has been in place for 12 years had been eroding and discolouring due to getting battered by the prevailing westerly wind and rain.
Councillor Andy Collins had previously contacted the RAF benevolent Fund to help restore the memorial but was told that the fund only ‘adopts’ RAF memorials once they are over 15 years old which means that work wouldn’t be done to it until 2027.
After a six month search for a local stonemason Phil Taylor from Pevensey got in touch with the Meads councillor to begin work on restoring the memorial.
Starting his work on October 1, Phil began work on the memorial and completed his refurbishment in time for Remembrance Sunday.
Cllr Collins said: “Amazingly, Phil offered to do it free of charge.
“What a kind hearted community based gentleman. Go and take a look, (the memorial) is resplendent.”
The memorial at Beachy head was commissioned by Joe Williams, who was a ex-bomber command rear gunner during World War II.
The inscription on the memorial reads: “World War II 1939-1945, In tribute to the 110,000 aircrew of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command. 55,573 gave their lives in the cause of freedom.
"11,000 became prisoners of war. They volunteered and came in their thousands from the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the occupied countries of Europe to fight and defeat a great tyranny.
"For many, Beachy Head would have been their last sight of England. Remember them."
