Hi There will be a fly past over Sheffield this Friday This is to mark the anniversary of a B-17 crash at Endcliffe Park (S11 7AB) The story is amazing. Dan Walker from the BBC met an old guy who has tended the memorial all his life after seeing the crash as a small boy. So Dan started a campaign to get a flypast over the memorial www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-46738576There will be Typhoons, Dakota and USAF Ospreys Mrs531 has emailed the USAF at Lakenheath to find more details on timings and so far they are only saying that the BBC will be live from the park between 08.15 and 09.15 but I don’t know if this is when the flypast will take place She will email again this week to try and find more detail Ian

It looked a good fly-past Ian and a great turn out of people for the old man. Good on him. Beemer.
