    Just returned from the annual 151/156 Para reunion held at Melton Mowbray. As usual an excellent weekend with a mixture of veterans, their families and friends attending.
    Attached a photo taken at a very windy Saltby Airfield on the Friday morning. A few Red Berets including veterans and one young whippersnapper who managed to creep in.
