Quiet celebration

[Keith Webb]

I attended a Bomber Command memorial service on Sunday and D-Day was definitely remembered as part of the service at the Melbourne Shrine.
A Channel 9 Cameraman was despatched to cover but some officious person would not let him in due to lacking a media pass. What an ASS.

There was a flyover of Harvards, Winjeel and CT4s in one formation and slightly later another formation of CT4s also flew over in very blustery wintry conditions.

Hi Hanno, Keith Malcolm and Tony

Thank you for your comments - But all I can say is:

" LEST WE FORGET "

Cheers

Either I missed it or there wasn't much coverage in Canada, perhaps because it wasn't a multiple of 5 or 10 years since the event.

Good point guys....didn't see much interest up Canada way. Except for the History Channel playing "Storming Juno" over and over again. This year, seems that all monies are being spent on the memories of WW1 although, I think that's running out of steam. Maybe the governments can't support 2 Wars. Even today with the G7 get together in Germany, you would have thought the leaders would have just taken that moment to "remember". My 2 cents for the thought...........Robert (Thanks for bring this up Tony!)

I didn't notice any media attention but it was clearly marked on my calendar.
