    Sheffield memorial flypast 22/02/2019

    Some of you may be interested in this,

    I don't know what route/routes the aircraft might take on approach or exit, but a very worthy effort by all concerned.

    Unfortunately I won't be anywhere near Sheffield, but hope that it will be broadcast on national media.
    A very interesting and sad story (among many from that period). Astonishing as well, the power of social media and one person dedicating themselves to a cause.

    I read about this on social media and hats off to Mr Foulds and all those that made this happen. Sadly live nowhere near Sheffield so hopefully it will be covered by the media.

    I'll be approximately 2-300 yards off the flight path in the morning and looking forward to it

    It’s great to see a human story like this commemorated.
    The young lads gave their lives so we could live the lives we live today.
    It was a shame Sally B is under maintenance would have been nice to see her up.

    Listening to BBC Radio Sheffield this morning on the lead up to this.

    Youngest crew member was 18 and the oldest apparently was just 24... Pretty poignant
