There's a piece on Johnny Checketts funeral tonight.
Apparently the Mustang did 2 fast low passes over the proceedings.
How awesome !!!!!

A nice tribute was paid on both channels, TV1 and TV3. There were a few big names at Johnny's funeral too I note.
A sad day.

I had to laugh when the TV1 Newsreader said he was the top scoring Allied Pilot !! Poor old Johnnie Johnson must have been an also-ran  Seriously though, I loved seeing the P-51 blast overhead on the news. My Mum was at the funeral, she said it was very moving, virtually a Full Military one with Reveille and the Last Post by bugle played. She said the Mustang was just the icing on the cake !! |
