We had the honour of having W/Co Burbridge taking part in the dedication service at RAF Hunsdon in 2005. This photo shows him with Air Commodore Dick Garwood.

We have lost quite a few who attended the Hunsdon memorial dedication Jim, but we were so lucky to have been graced with their presence on the day.

First read about his exploits with Bill Skelton in “Night Fighter”. Like John Cunningham and Jimmy Rawnsley, a truly remarkable pairing…
