Hi,

David Weston sent me a link to this thread a while ago but its taken a little while to get registered and approved for posting.

Those are some lovely photographs that my extended family have now seen, extending further the emotional impact and joy of the day. Brilliant photography.

Naturally, one is positively biased towards one’s parents, but to meet so many people who were in a position to understand the history and who were so enthusiastic, interested and respectful to my fathers past just added even more to the experience. Heart warming.

I cannot thank David enough for initiating the visit, nor all those I met at St Athan.

P.S. I have also noticed today a thread about PX229 and the work that has been done to recover the remains of that aircraft. Dad flew that Hornet once, at Farnborough on October 1st 1946. It feels like a small world !
