They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

It's been said before but, in my opinion, worth repeating. Let's not forget the other Servicemen who will be joining the Nimrod crew in the Scruff's Bar in the sky.
RIP

Sad Sad news.
So sorry for everyone involved. Just received an email from one of the wives telling us of the loss of her husband. Just numb.

Suspicion breeds confidence
I have just got back into the country and have heard the news. I can only add my own thoughts to all the words that have been said here. Terrible news.

Have not been able to get on line until now. Such sad news - has knocked the wind out of my sails.
RIP to you all
To the families - My thoughts go out to all of you at Kinloss and to those who lived further afield. I hope that you can come to realise that you all have the love and support of more than you could ever hope to know.

From the Civvies.
Many of my generation feel such losses deeply - we admire you all as one of the last bastions of professionalism and the credo of service to the wider community.
We are aware of the risks that you run on our behalf and we will never be able to thank you enough.

Not forgotten
I've been away from PPrune pretty much since I, and many others, lost a loved one in Iraq on 30th January 2005.
I'm using the ID I set up for my big fella in 2004 when he was posting his various naughty rants and wished to remain anonymous (I was little_bee_eater). Betty Boo is female, small and cute - a suitable opposite we thought (you'll understand if you know who I am/he was)!
He still makes me smile.
I am very sadened to hear of another tragic loss and my heart goes out to all affected; by this and by other events.

From the boys in the ex pat German Frat,
We just cracked a Wobbly, we said some words. We, the guys who are in cividom, ex RAF, ex FAA, ex AAC, cannot describe our sorrow, but we raise a glass for our friends who took off towards the sky.
Theres a wobbly in my fridge for each and every one of you tonight.
I wish you were here to join us.

An awful weekend and a deeply shocking tragedy. Unlike some of our political leaders I sincerely mourn the loss of many fine airmen, a soldier and a marine. My thoughts are with, and for all of the families, friends and colleagues from both Kinloss and further south.
I too was on CXX in 1995 and remember the Toronto guys as though I was having a beer with them last night. It will be a tough few months ahead but maritime spirit is second to none. I know this is little consolation but it will help with the mourning process.
RIP one and all...
