The Aircrew Association Costa Blanca celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain with a formal lunch
The Aircrew Association Costa Blanca celebration
at the Parador Hotel in Javea on 16th September. Members and their guests were welcomed with a Cava Reception in the
grounds of the Parador by the Chairman, Max Maxwell before adjourning to the banqueting suite for lunch. Having been welcomed formally by the Chairman, a grace, appropriate for the occasion and written by Life Vice President Peter Langley, was said by the Association Honorary Chaplain, Father Marcus Ronchetti. After the meal, ‘A Dedication to the Comradeship of Aircrew’ was given by Father Marcus and this was followed by two toasts; to King Felipe, proposed by Peter Langley and to The Queen, by the Chairman. Squadron Leader David Tucker, a serving RAF Officer who is based near Madrid, then gave a superb ‘Perspective of The Battle of Britain’ and proposed the toast ‘To Those Who Gave So Much’. The proceedings were then drawn to a close by the President, Brian Weskett who proposed The Aircrew toast, ‘To Absent Friends and Fellow Aircrew’. This was a memorable occasion and was a fitting celebration of the 75th Anniversary of one of the major turning points in the history of the Second World War. The attached photograph shows some of the Aircrew Members and their guests enjoying pre- lunch refreshments.
