Hmm, my home turf as I was growing up and Mum and Dad both cremated there (Breakspeare was the one and only English Pope ever). Has anyone told RAFA and RAF Northolt? Just a thought.

Sadly miles from me, but I have added a link on the Flypast forums.
I would like to add my heartfelt sympathies to the family who have been tragically robbed of the chance to wish him goodbye.

He got a see off at short notice, well done all involved.

That was very well done. Lot of dust in the air watching the Anglia News video. Had not appreciated that he had been in the "Memphis belle" crew, but had thought she was at Bassingbourn rather than Snetterton
