Yesterday, I had one of the proudest days of my career as we finally had the opportunity to celebrate the reformation of 19 Sqn and 20 Sqn. With @alnwickcastle as the backdrop for our parade, we put on an amazing spectacle for our VIPs and families. 👉 ow.ly/WBqQ50JzmxR

@10Association @AirTanker @RAFBrizeNorton This was a 10 Squadron crew, two of whom ended up in Buchenwald.
This weekend a ceremony was held in a village in northern France to commemorate the seven crew members of a WW2 Halifax Bomber who were shot down there on 3rd June 1944.

I believe that the final 10 Squadron RAF Dakota sortie on 23 September had a passage from Psalm 21 inscribed on the nose: “For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.” @10Association

@10Association @MarterPhil Doug has been out and about again! Good to see him being recognised like this.
Fantastic evening yesterday at the @IntBCC for a ceremony and dinner mark the Inaugural Bomber Command Day. A moving ceremony followed by excellent speeches during the meal including a moving one from Douglas Newham, a 99 year old Bomber Command Veteran.

@10Association @MarterPhil Another compliment.
Excellent evening @IntBCC marking the 85th anniversary of the formation of Bomber Command & remembering the 57,861 air & ground crews who lost their life in WWII. Very special to hear from 99 year old Douglas Newman and his moving reflections. Well worth a visit @aircadets

Despite Saturday's rain, @10Association inaugurated a new headstone for Wg Cdr A T Whitelock in Bibury's village cemetery. The original was extremely weather-worn, no relatives could be found and formal permission was granted by the Diocese of Gloucester. 3 ex-COs attended.

A fascinating tale, with an incidental RAF/10 Sqn angle. How many others from those concentration camps will never be told? @10Association @RAFAssociation @IntBCC
