We’re having an informal get together at @IntBCC on 2 October, noon-2.30pm, to see the new 10 Sqn stone in the ‘Ribbon of Remembrance’ pathway there. Hope to see you for a chat, a cup of tea and bite to eat in the cafe.

A RAF Atlas has been refuelled by a Voyager, over the South Atlantic for the 1st time.
The Atlas was flown from RAF Brize Norton to Ascension before flying on to the Falklands. ✈️ ⛽️

Yesterday, I had one of the proudest days of my career as we finally had the opportunity to celebrate the reformation of 19 Sqn and 20 Sqn. With @alnwickcastle as the backdrop for our parade, we put on an amazing spectacle for our VIPs and families. 👉 ow.ly/WBqQ50JzmxR

Spitfire and Hurricane flypast in memory of 10 Squadron mid-upper gunner Robert 'Mac' McClements. I interviewed him for the @IntBCC Digital Archive in 2015. @air_museum @LydiaJane13 @HelloYorkshire yorkpress.co.uk/news/2018975…

A superb Yorkshire morning today for our @10Association Remembrance Service at former #RAFMelbourne. Finally, we were able to gather together with good friends to remember those who served on the Squadron in WWII. 'Rem Acu Tangere'

Imagine the impact #BomberCommand made on Vale of York & Yorks Wolds in WWII - Today I drove past aerodromes at Carnaby, Full Sutton, Pocklington, Leconfield, Driffield, Lissett & wasn't on my way to see any of them. Had to visit the wonderful #158Sqn memorial at Lissett though.

A big Happy 100th birthday to our very own Douglas Newham, LVO, DFC! Doug was a Halifax navigator/ Navigation leader at 10 Sqn during the War. A wonderful man.

We've been lucky to welcome birthday boy Douglas Newham from Cumbria, as he turns 100. Douglas was a navigator on Wellingtons and Halifaxes in WW2, flying from bases such as RAF Melbourne. He took the chance to climb into his old seat, just behind the pilot, in our Halifax...

I believe that the final 10 Squadron RAF Dakota sortie on 23 September had a passage from Psalm 21 inscribed on the nose: “For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.” @10Association
