6th July 1965
Today is a tale from the boundary of my family, The Robinsons and the families of the 41 men killed in what was described as the worst RAF peacetime plane crash.
My uncle M/AQM Joseph W Robinson was one of the men killed.
Every year on the nearest Sunday to the date of the crash ( today being the actual anniversary), a service is held at the tiny church of St Lawrence in Toot Baldon Oxfordshire. The church looks out over the field where the plane came down.
Last year, Dame Didi and I along with our cousins Mel and Sandra Robinson attended the service. This year we sadly cannot be there. However out thoughts are with the other families who will be attending, especially our friends Simon Telfer and Ed Way.
At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
We remember them.
