On Sunday 1st April the RAF celebrated 100 years since its formation. To commemorate the occasion Rod Pickles hosted a walk around Ford Park. The stories of some of the 49 airmen buried there were told by Rod. 37 people attended.

There were a few sprinkles of rain at the start and coming up the hill for the last couple of graves it started to rain a little harder, but they all made it back to the Visitor Centre just in time.

Maggie Heath and Alan Bricknell ensured that good order was kept!

The photograph shows Rod Pickles and Group Captain Rick Culver (President of the local RAF Association) laying a wreath on the grave of the 'Unknown Airman.' The wreath was made by Maggie Heath.
