‘Though a year has passed, it feels like yesterday’ – Family mourns Squadron Leader Anala

One year after the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the life of Squadron Leader Peter Bafame Anala and other Ghanaian servicemen, his family has reflected on the pain of his absence, the memories he left behind, and the enduring legacy of a man they describe as much more than a pilot.

Speaking at the National Inter-Faith Memorial Service held in Accra on Thursday, 6 August, exactly one year after the tragedy, a representative of the family, Precy Anala, said the passage of time has not erased the pain of losing a beloved husband, father, son, and brother.

Reflecting on the one-year journey since the tragedy, he said the loss of Squadron Leader Anala remains deeply painful for the family.
