The Last of the Few

13 May 2019 5:44PM   Views : 1628 Unique : 666

We were at Elvington Air Museum, near York, on Sunday. There was an event running, 1940s themed, and there were plenty of people dressing up, dancing, singing and generally enjoying a superb day. There were also, on a more serious note, some of the last veterans from WWII sharing their tales and also enjoying seeing some of the aircraft, such as the Halifax which was brought out of the hangar for the day. It's a sobering thought what they and their lost friends suffered so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we have today. So today's blog images will concentrate on the people at the event, especially the Last of the Few.
