Thank you Clive for posting this on what is the 80th anniversary of this tragic loss. I attended The Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede yesterday to lay a wreath for my father and Poppies with inscriptions for the three airmen that also lost their lives on this day, I also read out aloud their names, they should not get forgotten.
My family were with me as this is a very emotional time for me.
Once again, thank you.

 

Thank you Peter for sharing your story.
