80 Years young! On this day (9th Jan), in 1941 the 1st prototype Lancaster flew from RAF Ringway. The site of the station is now occupied by @manairport.
Took a very wet walk to the #MiAmigo Memorial this morning in Sheffield. Didn't expect to see anybody, let alone Tony. Even in these conditions he was still there tending the Memorial. What a gentleman and true inspiration to all.
Just met an amazing man in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. Tony Foulds was an 8-yr-old playing in the park when a US plane crashed in Feb 1944. He has diligently maintained the memorial ever since. He was planting new flowers. Almost 75 yrs of service. What a man. Iโm in bits ๐ข๐๐ป
