Hi Kerry - sorry to hear that your friends were involved in this awful tragedy................. You all do such a tremendous job.... I'm sure I speak, not only for myself, when I say how much all our girls and boys in the forces are appreciated. Keep up the good work and don't let the B*****ds grind ya down! Gaynor :-)

Just want to say Thank you to everyone for their kind words of support. These last few days have been tough and today finally, the news crews have left Lyneham. So Kian and I went to put down flowers! Now we can mourn in peace.

It's bad enough it happening in the first place, but when you know/know of the victims, it must be so many times worse. Thoughts are with you and others there Kerry, Glenys x

Dear Kerry So sorry about your comrades! I believe one of our RAAF people attached to the RAF died on the aircraft also. Only Australian to die in Iraq, leaves wife and three young children. So sorry for all the families involved. Pam

Very sorry at the news. A few years back (1990) we went over to Germany for the wedding of the daughter of good friends, both bride and groom in the RAF, she on admin, he a navigator in Tornados. We came back from holiday four months later to find a note to say he had been killed in a mid-air collision. Next thing was a memorial service at Bury St Edmonds then seeing the Battle of Britain 45th anniversery flypast that he should have been in (London flypasts always come over our house on the way in).

Hi Kerry, I didn't know you were based at Lyneham. Terrible news wasn't it. i was thinking of the families before it was known who was involved. I used to work as a civvie at RAF Innsworth where the intitial news will have been received. I am sure life on that camp is subdued at the moment too as the RAF is a small 'family'. The families of those lost are in my mind as are all the lads and lasses who are out there. They are doing, as always a great job. Best wishes Ann Glos
