Below is a link to an article i set up in the History Forum that i felt might interest some of you here as well.

Bomber Command fliers in their own words

When a Lancaster bomber showers Green Park in central London with poppies on Thursday, it will be the first chance in almost 70 years for surviving crew to formally recognise their fallen friends.
Almost half of the 125,000 Bomber Command lost their lives - more than today's entire RAF personnel - yet their courage dodging night fighters and anti-aircraft fire has never been officially marked until now.

Thanks for the post Baldrick. Quite a sacrifice on the part of the RAF. Was watching an episode of " Majesty " here. Flyover for the Queen in London. Great video of a Lancaster, Hurricane and Spitfire flying in formation.
