Hoppy, I’m not aware of any annual memorial service, although there may be a small, private remembrance held at 33 Squadron.
The last major commemorative service was held at 33 Squadron, Amberley, in 2021 to mark the 30th anniversary of the tragedy. I would imagine the next major service will be held in 2031 to commemorate the 40th anniversary.
Hard to believe it’s been 35 years since we lost our mates. They are certainly not forgotten. Lest we forget. Replies: There have been no replies.
