An emotional farewell to a true hero… performed a flypast for his 100 birthday last year, this year I scattered rose petals at his remembrance. Amazing stories and a very interesting log book @MandyHickson @jo_salter @carolvorders @ProjectProp @RoyalAirForce @RAFBBMF

The moment 98 year old Flight Lieutenant Ernie Holmes met his 6 month old great grandson Henry for the very first time. The WWII @RoyalAirForce veteran was flown from Scotland to @AirportCoventry by @ProjectProp. Ernie was one of 115 WWII aircrew veterans there @bbcmtd

As ever, @RAFBBMF absolutely NAILED it at @AirportCoventry for @ProjectProp. Close on 100 WWII aircrew veterans were there to see and hear the #Spitfire flypast. Very special to see....

Post a picture of a man falling over or a lady rolling her eyes and it goes viral these days How about trying to get the image of a WW2 veteran placing a poppy on a beach where his friends were lost to go viral? @BigBearF1 @RAF_AircrewRec @CombatStress @BearGrylls @carolvorders
