Armed Forces Day

Today is Armed Forces Day – is anyone going to an event? We have a display by the BBMF Lancaster so hopefully I’ll get a decent video of it this afternoon.

I presume the timings will be here http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/displayinfo/ as soon as they are confirmed.

There was lots of publicity about Armed Forces Day where I live, mainly owing to the fact that the Lancaster was expected. That proved to be a big disappointment for lots of people who came here specially to see the Lanc when it didn’t show up. I had hoped to get a video of it with my new camcorder, will have to wait and see where it is to display next in North Yorkshire so I can go and see it.

He’d be damned either way…..imagine if he hadn’t attended!

I’ve heard that Cameron is in attendance, wonderfully hypocritical considering what devastation his coalition has wrecked on our Armed Forces.

Well, the fact that I didn’t even know it was Armed Forces Day says a lot about how well publicised this day is! :rolleyes:

I regard myself as pretty well informed, I have a keen interest in all things military and Britain is currently involved in two armed conflicts in the world and yet reading this thread is the first I’ve heard about it.
