I was fortunate enough to meet some of them at Riat last year. 3 of us had to pick them up from there hotel and take them to the base for the arrival of the bobmf.
When we got to the hotel they were not quite ready so were invited in for tea and bickies. One of the old boys came over to sit with us,well to say i was gobsmaked is an understatment. I did not know at the time who they were, but the other two with me did as they were both ex Raf, Both in there 70s.
He had his medals on and i remember the DFC,AFC, plus many others, but i dont recall his name, we were then joined by an american gentleman who turned out to be General Burn who i was told was the co of the 8th airforce in ww2.
They started to talk about the wellington, and compairing it to others they had flown. We then had to depart for the base so i did not get to hear any more which was a shame, i could have sat there all week and just listend to them.
As a driver i have carried some very special cargoes in my time, but non as special as them. It may not seem much to some people but to me it was really something.
Total respect for those Gentlemen. Look forward to seeing the programe.
