Have been following this thread for a while now and I would just like to say that I hope the "Rompers Green" cartoons can be preserved for posterity.

I realise that now may not be the best time to raise the subject, but it sounds like something that would be a shame to lose.

My condolences to all.

Flypast
 

Yes it was a good gesture, Chaz would have been proud:

a) They found the church
b) They didn't drop anything in the Kiel Canal.

Bye old chap, whilst often a cliche, you will be missed by those who knew you.

Chas's last party was a great occasion, and filled by a fabulously diverse bunch of people that truly encapsulated Chas's phenomenally wide range of interests, experience and expertise. I managed to catch up with a few old friends, and made many new ones - all with the common theme of happy memories of Chas's effect on our individual lives.

To Nigel, Stratton and Don, thanks so much for making the day go well and directing our thoughts and memories so accurately. To 30 Sqn (and particularly Inga and Obie), the flypast was a marvellous gesture that Chas fully deserved; thankyou. To Di: you were and are an inspiration! What a shame that the reason for such an excellent day was the death of one of aviation's true characters, but it was a day I'm proud to have shared with all of you others blessed by Chas's life.
