With everyone’s blessing I would like to put an idea forward. At the end of this month, I would like to take all the comments and post's from this thread (apart from the press/question related ones) and turn them into a book of condolence. I will find a tasteful book cover and with the help of the local graphic’s section will print off the thoughts.
I will then send three copies to 847 Sqn and two to RAF Benson so that our late colleagues families and friends can see that although the crew may be gone, they have not been forgotten. I'm sure the family and friends already but I think it would be a nice way to honour them.
Please feel fee to agree or disagree with the idea and let me know your thoughts, both good and bad.
Thanks
