Speaking as an ancient trucky (Transport Command, originally….), I’ve been incandescent about the binning of the Herc. So I’ve been putting together a Letter to the Times, to be signed by a few aviation luminaries. And, believe it or not, t’Times says it’s going to be in on Wednesday 14 - to coincide with the big flypast. Signatories include a couple of former CASs and a former Defence Minister.
I’m aware that nothing will change - but I felt that something needed to be said in the columns of the Thunderer.
Of course, with all the extraordinary news that’s around just now, it might not appear. But I’m hopeful.
