Today I took two RAF war veterans to a re-union held at the Cold War Jets Collection at Bruntingthorpe, in Leicestershire in the English Midlands.
85-year old Syd flew 23 missions as flight engineer on Halifax bombers while 83-year old Arthur flew a full tour of 30 missions as rear gunner on Halifaxes.
