Thank you Dad (Wg. Cdr. A. R. Hindley, AFC, OBE) for your bravery in helping defend our beloved country. We know your losses were heavy and so very many made the ultimate sacrifice as you fought the enemy in the skies above. From Spitfires to Lancaster Bombers and then Test Pilot, ‘… without his skilled flying the preparation of (Stirling) aircraft for use by the airborne forces in the invasion of Normandy could not have been achieved’.
Our freedom was hard fought for by you all. ‘The bravery and sacrifice of RAF aircrew was matched by the ceaseless effort and devotion of RAF ground crew, RAF engineers, mechanics, and armourers, as well as countless others on the ground who worked day and night to keep the RAF ready for battle’. To you all we give our grateful thanks.
We’re so proud of you Dad. Thank you so much. All our love. RIP.
