S&S,
I really hope to be able to make it, but if I don't.. I'm sure you'll both have a wonderful and (yes) an emotional day.
If I can't make it, I'll keep an eye out for those IX Sqn Tonkas though and I hope they're piling the coal on. In a Rutland field or at the Cenotaph, its humbling it is to see us remembering our own - quietly, proudly and with dignity. The memories of Alastair, Benny, Stephen and FO Whelan will be well served tomorrow.
Best wishes,
Al.
