RAF Veterans Re-union

A forties band played some Glenn Miller tunes.

Two bonny lassies singing a Vera Lynn number
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day

and the music over, the planes queue to depart for home.

A forties band played some Glenn Miller tunes.

Was this band visiting from the U.S.?

I ask because the gals are wearing the patch of the U.S. Army Air Corp 8th Air Force. I know the 8th Air Force flew bombing operations out of airfields in England during WWII, but it still strikes me as a bit odd that a british band would wear U.S. ensignia to an event commemorating the R.A.F.

And you mentioned that the venue had an "ornamental swiss garden." What makes an ornamental garden swiss - holes???

Looks like it was a wonderful event. "Props" to you for helping!

Was that Glenn Miller's outfit? I suspect that was the connection.
