Re: off topic.battle of britain memorial and flypast
Well done Adrian, seems like you have done good work. I wish I was a bit closer, would be great to attend. We have a small chapel and grave yard next to RAF Coltishall. One blink and you would miss it. But what an emotive place. But stuffed full of pilots killed during the war, and later, laid next to wives who died 50-60 years later. Even an old git like me is moved to tears there.
Cheers, Mick
