Mention is made above of the Pathfinders. I had the privilege, as OC Admin at Wyton, of being one of the organisers of the Pathfinders 50th Anniversary reunion weekend at the Station. Wholly unforgettable. One of the attendees was Ulric Cross, at that time High Commissioner for Trinidad and Tobago and the most senior and most decorated wartime aircrew from the Caribbean, a man I shall never forget. Also met Ly Bennett, also unforgettable. then got a bear hug from Wg Cdr Bill Simpson, who had come from NZ, and had been my OC Ops Wg at Watton in the 60s. What a weekend.
