In retirement I am OC 1245(Cirencester) Sqn Air Training Corps, Each year we take part in the ANZAC Parade and Service in the Gloucestershire village of Leigterton. During WW1 it is where the Australian Army Air Corps did their early training. It could be said that Leighterton and nearby Minchinhampton was the birthplace of both the RAAF and the RNZAF. Sadly there are several graves of Aussies and Kiwis who never made it home. We couldn't parade this year because of the Virus however we will be back next year paying our respects to those brave pioneer aircrew who gave their all ultimately for us.
