Some lovely and poignant content of our Last Rally
Shropshire has hosted Second World War veterans for a final 'Project Propeller' event.
Despite numbers dwindling since 1998, more than 40 former aircrew attended for the last time - pilots giving up their time and their flying machines free-of-charge.

An emotional farewell to a true hero… performed a flypast for his 100 birthday last year, this year I scattered rose petals at his remembrance. Amazing stories and a very interesting log book @MandyHickson @jo_salter @carolvorders @ProjectProp @RoyalAirForce @RAFBBMF

Should anyone want signed copies of #AboveUsTheStars for Christmas gifts, I have only 36 copies left! How mad is that? Almost sold out in within 2 months of publication. More copies of #HorsekeepersDaughter have just arrived. You can buy both for £20 plus p&p. Link in bio or DM
If you've not already ordered... what are you waiting for? 🤔😊👍🏻
**PUBLICATION DAY**
Good morning everybody! To mark the publication of Above Us The Stars: 10 Sqn Bomber Command - The Wireless Operator’s Story, I’m delighted to share with you this photo of Jack Clyde & his crew , colorised by the amazing @marinamaral2 justcuriousjane.com/store
Superb work Steve and Nigel, and thanks to everyone at Newcastle Airport who made it possible
RAF Lancaster Pilot celebrating his 100th Birthday waving at me doing a fly past... and the marker the family put out so I knew where to aim 😁 @ProjectProp @RAFBBMF @RoyalAirForce @NCLairport
Very much look forward to reading this book.
If you might like a copy, please buy direct from the author at justcuriousjane.com It makes a big difference. You can also read Jane's piece about PP2018 there.
Three years of research, writing, re-writing, angst, hair-tearing, lots of tears and some moments of pure joy...finally signed off #AboveUsTheStars today. It’s on its way to the printers and I’m TERRIFIED @10Association

Should’ve been attending the wonderful @ProjectProp Second World War aircrew reunion at Halfpenny Green today. It’s a truly fabulous project, organised by some very dedicated people. Here’s a thing I wrote about it in 2018 ♥️ justcuriousjane.com/project-…
One for my aviation friends to add to their collection 👍
I’m a new author at 95 years old - just need some help to promote my self published book. Can any authors on here give me some advice on book distributors / publishers / book agents please. #author #newauthor #bookdistributors #publishers #bookreviews #bookagents #bookshops
Looking forward to tackling this beauty from @JohnNicholRAF. Pleased to see quite a few of "our" boys featuring...#Lancaster
As part of the Royal Air Force Association "Project Entertain" initiative, on Friday at 11am I'm giving a Zoom presentation about Project Propeller.
I'll cover PP's history, the planning aspects of an event, and recall some veteran stories/ experiences.
