Remembering Gary A, Gary Q, Ady, and all the others from CXX/3 and CXX/9 - you're gone lads, but never forgotten. Don't have "beer with a real head" where I am at the moment, but a glass of Speyside will have to do.
Not forgetting Noel A and Steve B from XV256 at this time also.
RIP, Sargs

Damn,
Is it really 4 and 15 years?
That's two navigator friends lost on the Mighty Hunter.
I flew with Nick Brooks on the OCU and with Steve Johnson on 55(R).
RIP dear friends you are sadly missed.
My thoughts are with all the families.

Glasses Raised in Flixton
Glasses Raised in Flixton tonight in the Church.

In memory of Q, the rest of the crew, and all those before and after.
Never forgotten

Thinking of you today GQ and raising a glass - a proper pint - with a head on it - like you taught me....
Hope you're not causing too much trouble up there mate!

- Some hope Stretch 182, they are in the best of company and will be causing mayhem.
Still remember the fellas nearly every day and will be raising a glass of the good stuff as soon as I am off duty.
Stand easy Crew 3.

It doesn't feel like 5 whole years have passed since we lost our mates. We haven't forgotten them and, I guess its because we think about them frequently, that we never will.
My thoughts are with the families today.

Stretch - you beat me to it! Jan, Pid, Sideboards & I are just off to take the same picture. And yes, there may be a 'proper pint' or three involved.
Never Forgotten.

Absent Friends
It's all been said on all the previous threads and all I can do is join with all of the previous contributors and say that my thoughts are with all of the guys on XV230, some of whom I was priveleged to fly with and GQ as a pal.... ... "Lest we forget". RIP guys
