I was lucky enough to be invited today to the Lincolnshire Bomber Command Memorial for a special flypast of the Lancaster in salute of Donald Nicholson, the 93 year-old WW2 veteran who lost his medals a few weeks ago at the official unveiling of the Memorial. He wanted to wear them at the Memorial, and the Lancaster, who was unserviceable and unable to fly also missed the ceremony. Today finally brought the Lancaster, Memorial, Donald and his medals together. It was a pleasure to be part of his special day!
