Remembering the Fallen
Apologies for the tardiness of this post but I had meant to post it the other day and then began a self imposed exile from the forum to get some work done!
We often say how 'we will remember them' but I thought I'd go one step further. Please humour me for a few moments whilst I ramble!
I remember an ITV documentary from about 1995 following an F3 Sqn through Maple Flag. Top Guns I think it was called. Anyway a Sqn Ldr pilot told how he'd known several people, maybe a dozen, who'd died in service and I, at the time, found it hard to believe. However as I sit here now it is terrifying how many mates and acquaintances have fallen along the way. So to add a personal note to my Rememberance Day I thought I'd list them. Some I knew better than others but I wish they could all be with their families right now.

Apologies for the morbid nature of my post but when I say 'we will remember them' these are the faces I see.
Stay safe everyone.
