Addresses were given by the museum's President Peter Kindred and Chairman Tim Brett and the Vice President of the 390th Memorial Museum Foundation Tucson, Frank Drain and John Warwicker, researcher and founder of the BRO Museum. We were also supported by members of the United States Air Force from RAF Mildenhall.

The service was conducted by the Reverend Deidre West, the unveiling of the new buildings name plaque was carried out by Frank Drain and the unveling off the information board was carried out by two BRO veterans, John Thurgood & Donald Hanscombe. 390th veteran Leroy Keeping cut the ribbon to formally open the Moller Building.
