It's odd for me living here, as we hardly ever get any sort of planes overhead - with me living so close to Heathrow for much of my life, the lack of constant hum was weird at first :lol:

It must have been wonderful to be there Debih, and what a lovely send-off your granddad had :)

I know the Derwent Dams Debih and was imagining it all and then Rodo posted her amazing photo and it became real. A special day for you.

Just caught up with this and it sounds amazing Debih and love the photo.

I agree that is a very poignant and special story about your grandad

That was good Debih, especially with the link to your Grandfather. It's nice to have these things in our lives. I grew up, pretty much, at Waddington on and off the camp, so I got to see them regularly, especially the Lanc before they put the top machine gun turret in.

Our sliver wedding was at the Petwood at Woodall Spa, last year. The Petwood was the officers mess for 617. On the Saturday the Lanc, Spitfire and Hurricane did 3 overflights before landing and Conningsby. My colleague we'd invited was amazed and spent quite a lot of time going over the photo's.

These are really special things to keep hold of as life goes on.
