Roy Fordham. " Tiger Swinger " Joined September 2007.
It's taken more than a week, for me to even try to find the words to convey my condolences, to the family and close friends of a man, so clearly loved and respected in every way.
My own feelings may be judged, in that this tragedy occured on the 15th of September, the day we commemorate a very special event in our history,the Battle of Britain.
This date is of some significance personaly, to me, as I celebrate my own birthday on this day, and having served in the RAF, do so with pride.
Little was I to know, as now living in Ausralia, this tragic event was to occur, almost at the time that I would be laying a wreath, at our local Cenotaph in Cairns, on behalf of the RAFA, in tribute to "The Few".
This is my first contribution to PPRuNE Forums, and is sent with a very heavy heart, I hope my prayers ,among the many others I'm sure, may have found their way to all, hurting so very much at this time.
Sincerely,
Roy Fordham, Cairns North Queensland, Australia.
