78 Squadron June 2010 Reunion

Picked this up from PPRuNe:
78 Squadron RAF Reunion and Former Base Visit

Calling all former 78 Squadron personnel, veterans and relatives of those KIA / MIA.
A programme of activities is being arranged by the current 78 Squadron, now based at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire.
Events are planned to take place at RAF Linton on Ouse, The Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, All Saints Church, Bubwith and Breighton Airfield, home of the Real Aeroplane Company’s collection of historic aircraft.

We plan to include (please note that itinerary is subject to final approval):
Saturday:
Visit to the YAM at Elvington with exclusive access to a restored Halifax bomber interior
Fly-through by Merlin helicopter at Breighton Airfield
Sunday:
Sqn Standard Parade and Memorial Church Service at All Saints Church, Bubwith.
Wreath laying at 78 Squadron memorial in Bubwith Church Yard with provisional flypasts by Merlin & Sea King helicopters, plus BBMF Spitfire.
Visit to Breighton Airfield which will be hosting a Members Club D-Day fly-in event with a static display of participating Merlin helicopters plus other a/c.
Monday:
Visit to RAF Linton on Ouse Memorial Room for veterans and families.
Departure of Merlins with flypasts of former 78 Squadron bases at Breighton, Croft, Dishforth, Linton on Ouse and Durham Tees Valley.

Interested parties should contact:
Tony Hibberd SNCO i/c 78 Sqn Operations, RAF Benson, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OX10 6AA
Email: tonyhibberd752@yahoo.co.uk

I'm assuming that's the 5th, 6th and 7th June....

If anyone has any personal links or has any relatives with past connection with 78 Squadron please pass on the details below to make them aware of an upcoming event that the Squadron is running at the beginning of June this year. Thanks.
