Remembering Budgie
Is it really 13 years ago today.

It seems like yesterday.

RIP Mate.

IT was 18 years ago, in Iraq, that I watched his aircraft blowing up ahead of us. A terrible tradgedy that his life was snuffed out so soon afterwards, especially after all that he and Bob and their families went through.

RIP Budgie boy

A long time ago and passed so quickly. We went through IOT and flying training together and that seems like yesterday. RIP Budgie

It was a happy day when we heard via the first guys that were released that Budgie and Bob had survived the explosion.

Was that Bob A.

If so there is a long story to tell and also give him my best regards as we were at Boscombe together - him Tors, me Jags.
