Colonel Tom is well worth adding as a honour member of Thunderboat.
Happy Birthday Tom

I see from Flight Radar that it looks like the Memorial Battle of Britain flight just gave him a Birthday present by flying over his home. BBC choppers up there to film it too.

what impresses me most is his appearance and bearing.
freshly pressed trousers, blazer with medals, smart white shirt and a proper tie.
no doubt his daughter makes sure he is always up to the mark, but I would imagine he's been like that all his life.
a true old soldier.
WELL DONE THAT MAN !!

Colonel Moore's fundraiser has now exceeded 31 Million. Its enough to put the 'great' back in Britain. Just stupendous.

I'd love it if they could now elevate him to Major. (though I suppose if his fund got to 100,000 the Queen just might!)
ETA to add the video, just because I can.

There was a 94 year old on the cruise who I reckon must have been ex military..stood up straight, ironed shirt, tie and pressed trousers every night....He was a very smart gentleman. I did the Last Waltz with him which was the last dance on the last night as I sorta thought he maybe wouldn't get the opportunity to get many more dances.... |
