Aviators Extraordinary
I have just joined the Forum - my father was Reggie Spiers, who died on 2nd June 2017, the 64th anniversary of Coronation Day, when he took part in the flying display.
My sister and I did not know a great deal about his life and career in the RAF as a test pilot, only that he absolutely loved every minute he could fly, including on his final day in the RAF at his beloved ETPS.
He also greatly enjoyed the reunions at Popham, and I am thrilled to see the photograph in this thread - thank you, John Farley (whom my sister Carolyn - then a young physio! - treated in the late 1970s). Some of the names are familiar as well and, before the dreaded dementia caught him, Father loved to reminisce and was always happiest either flying or shooting or talking about them!
Thank you all for your amazing lives! Linda
