As a nation we would be diminished if this did not occur.

I admire the sentiment, but please don't forget the often forgotten groundcrew - the men and women who spend thousands of hours of their lives modifying them, repairing them, servicing them, refuelling them, arming them and marshalling them. The RAF's public affairs personnel forgets them (I've never seen a groundcrew tribute on FB or Twitter - ever!), but nobody else should.
