For a variety of reasons, Remembrance Day is a bit emotional for me. I fully agree with the ‘remember them’ ethos behind it. I find it easier to visit the quiet cemetery near me, remember my mates and this old lad from the Glider Pilot Regt, one of the AAC’s predecessors. #AAC #Gliderpilotregiment
Hope everyone is enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend....Andy certainly is! But remember everyone, dont drink and fly! 😉
Cheers! 🍻

OTD 1942 - Operation Freshman, the mission to derail the Nazi Atom bomb programme by sabotaging the Norsk Hydro Plant at Vermork in Norway, ends in disaster when both Horsa Gliders involved and a Halifax tug crash.

A very successful day at the Army Flying Museum, with Andy giving his "Silent Wings" Glider Pilot Regiment guided tours and Ben and Steve on public engagement and display duties. A good day had by all with some very positive feedback. 👍🏻
