RAF Officer's sword
Nice thought, but sadly over the four reunions we organised up to 2014 there was a steady but relentless decline in numbers attending as people inevitably fell off the twig or old age and infirmity made the journey too much. NAM was organising smaller scale "tribute to the V Force " reunions up to 2018, but I dont think there are any plans for one this year.
My son borrowed a dozen precious swords from the RAF for his wedding sword party. The sword party stood outside the church in a light rain shower but not all the guys ensured the swords were thoroughly dry when they were sheathed. Before he left on his honeymoon the next day, he entrusted one of his RAF buddies to return the swords to the stores. Unbelievably, his friend forgot about the swords in his car boot for two weeks! When my son returned, he found them all covered in a thick layer of aggressive rust! It took almost 2 days of hard graft to return them to their previously pristine state. I am sure he had other things in his mind!
