Apparently "the council" has decided against holding an event on the 5th/6th of June for the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Europe. One of the most iconic photos of WWII was taken at RAF GC just before the airborne loaded into their planes and parachuted behind the German lines.

This is just shocking...

But they can spend close to £1m on the control tower? Really?

Where do you get your million from? Since the renovation and opening, it has been visited by many thousands of people. My first time there and a few times since, there have been American families, either with or without previous servicemen. It has to be applauded. BTW, I offered volunteer services to support it. I will always support it. Why so neg? Life is not always about money.
