The weather was extremely bad. It was a drab day with very low cloud and rain beating down, causing heavy spray and limited vision on the roads. Not a very good start to the coming week. However, the next day, Tuesday, 17th December, dawned bright but cold with a hint of ice on car windows. The early morning sky was clear, icy blue in colour with watery sunshine.

On this particular day, after a period of sixty-eight years absence, the number-plate of No.622 was to be officially Sqn Ldr Thomas Maxwell at the reinstated as an operational Royal Auxiliary Air controls of the Hercules C Mk1 J Force Squadron based at RAF Brize Norton. simulator during the 622 Sqn Mildenhall To witness this special day, a number of Register’s visit to RAF Brize Norton important guests were invited including Air Commodore Lord Beaverbrook, Air Marshal Sir Timothy Anderson, KCB, DSO and other Senior RAF Officers.

Heverlee war cemetery, in Vlaams-Brabant, Belgium, is three kilometres south of the city of Leuven and thirty kilometres east of Brussels. The area was important during different stages of the war. The British Expeditionary Force was involved in the later stages of the defence of Belgium following the German invasion in May 1940, and suffered many casualties whilst covering the withdrawal to Dunkirk. Commonwealth forces did not return until September 1944, but in the intervening years, many airmen were shot down or crashed in raids on strategic objectives in Belgium, or while returning from missions over Germany. The bodies of crews of planes which crashed in the region were ultimately brought to this war cemetery. There are ten fatalities from Northern Ireland interred at Heverlee. Amongst them is Gordon Kerr, a pilot from Lurgan in 514 Squadron Page !2 and two men from Belfast men who were sergeants in 57 Squadron.
