Last night I met Neil Armstrong - now incl pictures
So it was that I found myself in the presence of greatness, not just the great and the good of aviation but legendary aviators like Neil Armstrong and Eric 'Winkle' Brown.
Where else could you meet these type of people but at the GAPAN Trophies and Awards Banquet, held at the Guildhall in the City of London.
What was truly humbling though were the citations of the recipients of the Awards given for exceptional acts of bravery and courage. These crews flew their helicopters, often with scant regard for their own safety and in impossible weather conditions, so that others may live.
Salute to 7 Flight Army Air Corps (and Chas Challis), 202 Squadron Royal Air Force and 771 Naval Air Squadron Royal Navy.
