Fair point.

Whilst the special relationship between Hunstanton and the Leming Family endured the test of time, the 67th and the town lost touch. The town was unaware that the Squadron was still in existence, had become the 67th Special Operations Squadron and were based nearby at RAF Mildenhall. It was only as we approached our 60th Anniversary in 2012 that I re-established contact with Hunstanton. The Squadron's 60th Anniversary Parade on 10 Nov 12 and their participation in the 60th Anniversary of the Floods Parade on 31 Jan 13 re-established links with the town and that directly led to the awarding of the Freedom of Hunstanton.
