Brilliant day at Aviation Heritage Museum yesterday with the opening of ‘The Ray Parke Room’. A fitting tribute to a great man who would have turned 100 today #LestWeForget

Who else would you bump into on a Spitfire flightline, but Jonny Cracknell. We had a great day watching warbirds tussle in clear blue skies. Fascinating discussion with the pilots about the relative merits of the Spitfire, the 109 and the P51 Mustang.

An epic day & privilege sailing on ‘Lucy Lavers’ - an RNLI Lifeboat - 85 years on from when she was one of the ‘Little Ships’ at Dunkirk during Operation Dynamo. She helped evacuated troops from the beaches between 31st May-4th June 1940 #Dunkirk #OperationDynamo
