Some historic aircraft @AirportCoventry for our veterans to inspect tomorrow

Raise a glass or spare a thought tonight for the passing of a dear friend and gentleman, Bill Viollet Ld'H, WOp/AG 166 Squadron RAF. Blue skies and tail winds, my friend. W.T. Viollet, 29.7.1921-20.10.2018

Huge thanks to everyone @LBH_Airport and Executive Handling for their hospitality in welcoming George Dunn DFC Ld'H as part of his return visit to Peenemünde. He last "visited" there at the controls of a Halifax bomber on 17th August 1943

An unplanned visit to hospital wasn't going to spoil the 97th birthday of Bill Viollet, Ld'H. Bill served as WOp/AG with 166 Squadron. After being shot down in May 1944 he joined the French Resistance until Liberation. Cheers, Bill 🥂

An emotional return visit today to @RAFLeemingNews for W/O Harry Winter. He last flew out of Leeming in October 1943 in a Halifax bomber. Three of his crewmates paid the ultimate price. Lest we forget

Big thanks to everyone @Leicestershir20 for waiving landing fees for return visit of RAF veterans to RAF Leeming today. Your ongoing support is always valued.

A wonderful story has just come to light. Bernard Ennis (R in photo) meets Joe Stanley. Joe was Bernard's gunnery instructor at Wolverhampton, before he went on to fly on Sunderland flying boats with 228 Squadron. This was their first meeting since 1943. 😊
