Aah, flypasts. Flew in a 56 JP Graduation Flypast practice at Cranditz with ISTR George Etches, then as a baby pilot on 360 authorised for a flypast again at Cranditz, as an ex student, but most amusing was last December at Pte de Grave for 75th Anniversary of the "Cockleshell Heroes" raid. Four hundred odd people, veterans, French who had been children at the time, relatives of those on the raid, French and UK dignitaries, etc. Prominent the Colonel who is CO at the Armee de l'Air flying school at Cognac, who is looking increasingly concerned. Speeches are getting under way, and no sign of flypast listed in the programme. Suddenly as one of the VIPs is making his (long, so must have been French) speech 2 Epsilon trainers appear straining every rivet. Grimace from Colonel. Clearly no a/g comms. Epsilons disappear to rear. Speech continues. Suddenly the Epsilons reappear, lower and even faster. Speaker pauses, lets aeroplanes disappear, then continues as though nothing had interrupted him. Fantastic event though. Very moving.
