Medals
I agree about the service held in Westminster. What I found fascinating were the medals or lack of in certain cases. I went to Halton in 1947 and started flying in 1951 and remember that to my eyes it was the older folk on the Squadron who had the medal ribbons, older being around 30, being of course ex-wartime, whereas yesterday it was the young ones with the medals. The CAS had only two. I assume a long Service and good conduct and one for being first in the NAAFI queue somewhere whereas at one point there was a WRAF Doc Sqdn.Ldr behind him who had been involved in at least three recent "events". How the world changes.
