Remembering…

11 years ago today, after 16 years and 144 days, was my last day in the Royal Air Force. I had a display from the Red Arrows and that was that (not realising that 6 years later my wife would be their Station Commander).
At this time of year, the poppies begin to blossom, reminding me every time I see them of those that I met along the way in my Service career - some that I am still in contact with, some that I have lost contact with, and some that are no longer with us.
My other option for a photo today was my prized hand-signed photo of Kylie Minogue that is on the wall beside my desk in my office - it is her 55th birthday today…
