Oct 13, 2008 - a touching tribute and the first time i have allowed myself to listen to bagpipes after my brothers funeral we had a lone piper playing amazing grace, which he had at his passing out parade. bob was on XV179, always my hero and forever in my heart. to all other personnel who are also in the big bar in the sky, you may be gone but never forgotten. per ardua ad astra.

Tigger137 Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - I glad you found the strength to watch the vid Chappiesgirl. I served 15 years in the RAF including time on Nimrods but not Hercs. If you would like a copy of the vid feel free to PM me with an MSN addy and I'll be happy to send you it.

Oct 13, 2008 - I have no idea why I let myself watch these things. Because each time I watch them I end up crying. Not only for the men and woman who are the fallen hero's but for the men and woman who are left behind.As a civvie nurse it makes me want to join up, just to be able to serve and treat the men and woman who put their life at risk would be a great honer.Those guys died a hero's death, although they should never have died.

Oct 13, 2008 - I knew and worked with one of them at Kinloss 1991- 1995, my boy friend knew and worked with one other when based at RAF Lyneham.In the RAF we were/ are all very close knit, a 'family', therefore; when this happens, we all feel a great loss, and the pain.

Oct 13, 2008 - It always makes me cry when I see Bob or Ritchie or anyone else from the crew in one of these videos. Bob was a fantastic guy and is sorely missed.
