Following on from the previous year’s suggestion, it is hoped to be able to make a presentation to the Mayor of St Croix sur Mer, near the site of the D-Day B3 Airfield in Normandy, of a slate plaque depicting the Servicing Commando crest with the numbers of the four Servicing Commando units that served there during the campaign.  We are aiming to link up with an intended TSW Staff Ride to the Battlefields of Normandy in mid-October – more details will be published to members when known.

The afternoon’s activities – the TSW Families Day – followed on from the Craven-Griffiths Block naming ceremony.  The format was slightly different this year in that the whole event was held within the confines of the Helicopter Landing Site (HLS) and adjacent hangar producing a Village Fete atmosphere aided and abetted by the typically damp English weather!  Many congratulations must go to the organisers – of whom there were many, but in particular new Wg WO Mick Stokes and FS Paul Royer – who did a fantastic job in organising and running the show – Thank you all.
