Yesterday was Veteran's Day at our home airport when military veterans and their families were treated to free military themed displays (and free tea and buns for those wearing their medals). I was on duty at the air museum, taking turns at supervising access to the Canberra but it was only after the crowds had gone and we had closed the Canberra up for the night that I was able to obtain a kilt photo at my station.

The Home Guard protected the entrance.

Two world war 2 veterans. The gentleman on the right flew Hurricanes and Spitfires, including reconnaisance flights before and during the battle of El Alamein.

Aged over ninety and still going strong.

This old soldier served with the army in Malaya.

The veterans brought along their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
More to follow shortly.
