We were scheduled to see a Spit take off and perhaps return, but we got instead a fly by display and then as luck would have it, the two spitfire's were due to attend a funeral fly past so spent time giving us a private fly past before heading off. Rather special!!
Then with mixed feelings back on the bus and return to the familiar and welcoming surrounds of the RAF Club.
Thanks again to all concerned for such a wonderful trip, and for such a bunch of unforgettable experiences. Well done, well-deserved (by the vets) and now a well-earned rest I imagine!

What a wonderful and generous thing to do for these veterans. So few of them left and I am glad that my Uncle Eddie was able to participate. The thing that amazes me about this generation is how they returned from the war and just got on with it and made such outstanding contributions to society. In the US, they are called the Greatest Generation.
