Thank you, Alex. I always enjoy your photos.

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.

Gosh, my late father would have LOVED this. Same War, different front. He flew in the "island hopping" campaigns in the Pacific. He adored vintage planes and supported our local avaition museum.

Great pictures, as always. I love your adventures.
