617

 

We will not forget the sacrifice you made,

Nor courage you displayed without complaint or regret,

The loved you left behind with hopes to see them yet,

Your part you bravely played and we will not forget.

 

We will not forget your will to fight the fight,

Because you knew it right and the fight was not done yet,

The blood you bled in iron skies mingled with your sweat,

And tears from weary eyes, no We will not forget.

 

We will not forget the thousands cut to shreds,

Who never bowed their heads no matter what the threat,

Who bravely soldiered on until their fate was met,

Who gave their lives for ours, no We will not forget.

 

We will not forget your spiritual home,

Your blessed aerodrome, we haven’t lost it yet,

And so let it be known that while we have breath yet,

Your memory is sacred, and WE WILL NOT FORGET.

I worked in Scampton in the eighties, when the Red Arrows were based there
It's a shame to think of it closing.
But beyond shameful to think of shipping containers being used to house refugees.
Good luck with your campaign.

In memory of 617 Squadron, Scampton. We're currently fighting a battle against the government and the Home Office to save this iconic site and its heritage with a £300 million private regeneration deal with a heritage centre, museum, hotel, and aviation and aerospace projects, bringing 1,000 jobs to the 4th poorest area in Europe, rural Lincolnshire, and to stop the inhumane housing of asylum seekers in shipping containers on the runway. ❤
