You shouldn't have to instinctively apologise for posting Christian messages here. This was still a Christian nation the last time I checked - not a Sikh or Muslim one.

SoS,
Like you, I was uncomfortable with the "You shouldn't have to instinctively apologise for posting Christian messages here. This was still a Christian nation the last time I checked - not a Sikh or Muslim one."
I thought we were a tolerant, inclusive, multi-cultural nation, and looking at Church attendance figures, Christian is one thing we're not.....
But ADR is hardly imposing his views he could scarcely be more polite, sensitive and apologetic about the prayers he's offered.
And I suspect that those prayers may be of some real comfort to the bereaved, so where's the harm?

To those who serve in my name and for my safety: thanks folks for being there.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of those who are lost.

Left Lyneham 15 years ago having spent most of my military flying career on the Herc.
Sitting here writing this with a tear in my eye makes me realise that the bonds so aptly related by 'heights good' never die.
RIP guys and my utter heart felt condolences to your families and loved ones.

Pards,
You were a true blue 110% Top Bloke. I shall always remember our times dressing props on Thirsty-seven!
My heartfelt condolences go out to those who you and your crew have left behind, as well as to those of both the RAF and our own Albert communities who have lost such great friends and workmates.
Rest assured that your sacrifice will not be in vain......Somehow we will all sort out this $@#&fight that has been created

Just like to add my heart felt condolences to all those before me to those left behind.
I left lyneham 5 years ago and have lost touch with many good people always try to follow any news stories involving Albert.
Even when you've left theAircrew family it still hits you hard when something like this happens.

I'm a student, and have no understanding of the real-RAF world, but I want to offer my condolences to all the others given here, and to offer my thanks that these guys and girls have done a honourable job, defending the lives of many, when told to go there.
May you Rest In Peace, and may God have mercy on your souls.

I said goodbye to best friends last year after the Marham crash. Even after 18 years and too many funerals to count, it still hurts. My heartfelt condolences to all the families and friends left behind. .......and to you guys, wherever you are now, rest in peace, I'll raise a glass to you and smile at some of the antics we got up to.

I was so very sorry to have to start the thread, and I would just like to say (having heard the names of the news) that my thoughts and prayers are with all the families and those in the wider family.

Smudge, so many good times, such a tragic end to them.
You've done your bit mate, you can rest easy now. To all those still there, come home safe soon guys.
Thoughts with the families.
