Good Evening All:

Please find the video link below of VeRA, Thumper and Just Jane at East Kirby on September 14th.

Although Just Jane can only taxi under her own power VeRA and Thumper did some excellent passes over head. Maybe someday Just Jane can join Thumper.

I have a personal interest in this as I want to remember my maternal Uncle Russ who was shot down and killed over Monchengladbach on June 17 1943.

Russ was seconded to the RAF from the RCAF where he served with RAF 156 Squadron as a Navigator which was a Lancaster Pathfinder Squadron (Squadron Motto We Light The Way).

Russ and his crew are buried in the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Rhenburgh Germany and Russ was a old man of 32 and the rest of his crew early 20's..............
