Reunion 2010
550 Squadron Reunion 2010
Photographs from the reunion at North Killingholme 2-4 July 2010.
These photos are just by way of a taster. Over the next weeks, it should also be possible to make available:
- handheld camcorder shots of the Lancaster fly-past at the Memorial Stone
- audio files of the Lancaster roar
- and, hopefully, other photos and material from when North Killingholme was operational.
Click on the pictures to view (they will launch in another window).
NB: The pictures are not particularly large (ca. 1-2Mb or less), but if you have a slow connection they may take a little while to download.
Thanks to all in North Killingholme who pulled out all the stops to make the weekend great.
