Yes that's true, Mickey. I was just commenting that in the past, B of B commemorations have centred around 15 Sep. Thats when you saw all the volunteers out rattling their tins collecting for the RAF Benevolent Fund etc. I also suspect your Abingdon airshow was in September

Hoping there'll be more to come in September this year.

I shudder to think how many we will get airborne for this year.
There was a cartoon in The Oldie a couple of months back. HM is on the balcony watching a flypast something along the lines of yesterday's affair.

"No ma'am" says a flunkey standing behind her, "thats not the memorial flight, that's your Air Force!"
