Another hugely successful Annual Reunion held over the weekend of 1st/2nd July.  The wonderful weather allowed Members and guests to catch up on the patio at the Petwood House Hotel.

There was the usual high turnout for the Saturday Dinner, some interesting eating methods displayed by current Squadron members and speeches from our President and OC 57 Squadron.

Current 57 Squadron members eat dinner ‘Korean style’ (that’s no cutlery!)

Sunday’s Service at East Kirkby attended by over 200 people.  The Squadron Standard paraded, flypasts by a BBMF Spitfire and Hurricane and a taxi run by ‘Just Jane’.

A full report on the Reunion Weekend will be available in the Newsletter later this year.  The 2018 Reunion is on 7th/8th July at the Petwood Hotel and East Kirkby. More details to come when available.
