- 15 September 2011 12:50126579A beautiful day for it. Beautiful photos.
Lest we forget. - 15 September 2011 13:15126581quite so, the chap at the top with reverand sue day was a veteran of the conflict and was clearly delighted at the large turnout.
i find the site moving at the best of times when i think back to how young the people were that lost their lives in defence of our country.
it is a stunning and tranquil location for family of those who died to visit and pay their respects. - 15 September 2011 14:27126589And the Memorial Flight Spitfires were flying around all morning with helicopters full of punters paying £425 a throw in attendance.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 15 September 2011 17:37126604there seemed to be at least 3 helicopters in close proximity to the hurricane and spitfire.
this vintage bus drew some admiring glances.
this caught my eye parked up near the cliff edge.
this pic does not do justice to the beauty of the site, i would urge anyone that hasn't visited to spend some time up there just strolling around or simply admiring the views.
have to hurry though as site closes for the season 30th september.

- 15 September 2011 19:49126627Howard really nice set of pictures there, good to know that many turned out and yes you are right it so worth a visit, the marble wall with so many names really brings home how many lost their lifes to keep us safe.
- 15 September 2011 20:18126630well done with the pic alan, i was hoping someone with a quality camera would get a plane shot, didn't she you down there.
yes jan that marble wall is so emotive, just looking at that long list of names of young men of all different nationalities that lost their lives.
just to think that some of them may have been alive today if they had survived the battle of britain. - 15 September 2011 21:12126637I like the '57 Chevrolet Bel Air. A beauty.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
