Back in the late 80s/early 90s, a well known sqn ldr Loadmaster was Secretary of the RAF Equitation Association, and I was Treasurer. He used to bring his Mother in Law to events and she presented the trophies, most graciously too. She was/is Dame Vera Lynn.
I am now in touch with Tom, and with his agreement I will be sending a card to Dame Vera for her 100th birthday in March. It would be nice if I could include the best wishes of the PPRuNe community, some of the boys and girl she sang for, but rather more of their successors
