A very moving day but a pity it took so long to get a memorial in the first place, there have been many of our members passed away in these last few years. It was an excellent day and the RAF organisation was second to none. Thanks for the water.<br /><br />The history, photographs and 2 books about 627 are available on our website www.627squadron.co.uk. Enjoy the read.Dave Hunterhttp://www.627squadron.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340989676388522976.post-57916379825068878862012-07-19T02:55:46.859-07:002012-07-19T02:55:46.859-07:00G'day Alan,

I have bookmarked your blog to read later on today.<br /><br />I couldn't believe the weather either! Where did 28 degrees come from? The event was organised so well and much-needed water was plentiful.<br /><br />It certainly was an amazing and emotional day and I have lots of memories which I will treasure forever.<br /><br />Kind regards<br /><br />SandySandy Canningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764035369024535734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340989676388522976.post-14718883914672314392012-07-18T17:19:24.998-07:002012-07-18T17:19:24.998-07:00G'day Sandy

We'd come from Australia for this occaision, having a two week holiday in England. Dad had a fabulous time and the trip was worth all the effort. <br /><br />I kept a blog while we were away so home could keep track of us and also spread knowledge of what these blokes did for us. Its at <br />http://alanandric.blogspot.com.au/?view=sidebar<br /><br />And though I poke fun at the weather at times, overall we had very good weather compared to what you've been having and the Ceremony day must have been the best day of Summer so far - perfect for a day in the park.Alan Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197603797433749734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340989676388522976.post-11622955249494986272012-07-03T10:33:57.995-07:002012-07-03T10:33:57.995-07:00Thanks Sue and that was exactly why I wanted to re...Thanks Sue and that was exactly why I wanted to record the whole day for all the family to feel like they were there.
