Thank You
I'm sitting at home on OPS standby at Kinloss while my friends share a beer together on 120SQN commiserating our recent loss. Thought I'd take a look at this thread and I am overwhelmed at the number of condolence and sympathy messages.
I only knew 5 of the crew, 1 of whom was a good friend. This is a big reminder of losing my friends in Toronto in '95 - I was on 120 Sqn crew 9 until 4 weeks prior to the accident.
I don't think I can begin to convey how devastated Kinloss is right now - time is standing still here. The press are camped like wolves outside the gate but the squadron commanders are doing a good job despite this.
For Gary, Steve, Ady, Q, Jez and Al - Rest in peace my friends.
For the families of all concerned - my deepest deepest sympathy.
For the lads still in theatre - you are doing a fantastic job and I look forward to seeing you out there soon.
For the boys and girls drinking on 120Sqn - the pianos are all over on 201.
