MBE for John Romain and his 'NHS Spitfire' fund raising

Very pleasing to hear that John Romain has been recognised for the  excellent fund-raising ( and spirit-raising !)  flights in his MKX1 Spitfire.

”John Romain, a former Hawker Siddeley apprentice and BAE aero engineer, who flew a Spitfire over Cambridgeshire bearing the words ‘Thank U NHS’ on Clap for Carers nights, along with his wife Amanda, who helped raise £130,000 for NHS Charities Together, were both awarded MBEs for services to charity and aircraft restoration.”   Daily telegraph

Despite the phrasing, we can be fairly sure Amanda did not squeeze into the Spitfire with him      ( on those occasions!) .  Anyway , well done !
