A few weeks ago, Gary and I did another one of our Tours. This time we endeavoured and succeeded in visiting every one of the UK B-24 bases used by the USN and USAAF in WW2. We did so in 72 hours. The blog is here for those interested. It will develop over the next few weeks.

When you post Mr D we all read and we all listen many know here of your dedication and many have no clue at all and if not for the likes of Mr Dyer the world of vintage aviation would be a lot poorer for it.
Ps, still cannot work out how you have a 48 hour day 🙂

Thanx TA. My problem is I am passionate about aviation heritage, the thanks we owe and the greatest generation. This drives me to share their stories with others, particularly future generations. I hope someone will always listen. We really do stand on the shoulders of giants.

PLEASE: can I borrow some of your hours for a reason unknown to me you are able to tour around the country and build a desktop Spitfire cockpit.
I only manage 24 hours please advise how to gain more.
Well done a great pilgrimage I am sure not one person who was on those airfields during the conflict would of sat down with a beer or cup of tea and said ” I tell you now, in 70 odd years time two blokes will do a tour of all our old airfields just because the can” (((((( MEDIC )))))
