We’re so sorry you missed it, Richard (Forder), and that you are no longer part of our Committee. However, I’m sure you will still be there to share your knowledge when needed. One face amongst many to share our Reunion was Stephen Hutton. He joins our Committee for the future representing the 8 th Air Force which flew in partnership with RAF 100 Group, based in Norfolk. Stephen travelled from the States with his wife Pam to be our Guest Speaker and an introduction piece is included by him in this magazine. I would also share my unexpected pleasure and surprise in having my younger sister Gill join the Reunion all the way from the island of Mull in the Hebrides. By request, I have put her face next to mine in the photograph to introduce her to you. We have always been so close, and it was an absolute delight to have her share my world, with Kevan her partner joining us for a meal at The Plough on Friday evening, then seeing them again at the service at Horsham St Faith before the long ride home.

This morning, at approximately 9:35am, we observed a helicopter from High Mountain Heli, approach our neighborhood from the forest property to the south-east. The pilot made an attempt to approach in accordance with the approved flight path, but did not achieve this. He flew along the ridge of the mountains and dropped in to our community prematurely, toward the heli-pad, at an angle that is not consistent with the approved flight plan.
