RIP
Raised a glass last night whilst looking at Orion and thought of CXX/3. May they and all the other servicemen and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice rest in peace.

Yes, spent a few moments just after midnight remembering the many friends and colleagues that have departed to the stars over the past 12 months.
God Bless to you all, you are in our thoughts always.

dark and stormy day
I remember a very stormy day! A day we Couldnt convince the aircrew to go home so we cud get some early rectification work done! After falling from the side of a wessex in a big gust of wind I was getting angryer and angryer! Then it happened a lone crew member had been pre-posistioned on the top of a cliff on the return he was found to be missing! If was later found face down in the water! Un-forgiveable risk flying that day Not only because of the dead crew member but injured ground crew that day in the winds.

Well Done the Canuks
A fine "Salute" to a young man who has been educated to pay his respects.
A big thank you to the Canadians who gave him that salute.

Most of the kids in this country could learn something from this. Well done to the lad, parents should be praised for bringing up a well mannered young man. Finally congrats to the CF guys n girls for making his day too (if not impacting on a greater part of his future.)
