One of the biggest privileges of my life was to be one of the project officers for the Pathfinders 50th Anniversary at Wyton in 1992. Meet some amazing people, including my OC Ops from Watton in the sixties, Ulrich Cross, the most senior West Indian wartime aircrew, and Gp Capt Ken Batchelor, instrumental in the organisation that got the "Bomber" Harris statue. In all a most memorable weekend in astonishing company, and at least one of our young sqn ldrs absolutely enthralled by Ly Bennett, widow of AVM Bennett, AOC 8 (Pathfinder) Gp. Certainly "ordinary" people responding to extraordinary challenges. I, for one, salute them all.
