Project Propeller is an annual reunion for WWII aircrew, to which they are flown from all over the UK in light aircraft by current volunteer pilots.

Some lovely and poignant content of our Last Rally
Shropshire has hosted Second World War veterans for a final 'Project Propeller' event. Despite numbers dwindling since 1998, more than 40 former aircrew attended for the last time - pilots giving up their time and their flying machines free-of-charge.

An emotional farewell to a true hero… performed a flypast for his 100 birthday last year, this year I scattered rose petals at his remembrance. Amazing stories and a very interesting log book @MandyHickson @jo_salter @carolvorders @ProjectProp @RoyalAirForce @RAFBBMF

Very much look forward to reading this book. If you might like a copy, please buy direct from the author at https://t.co/JaNNLZVHFl It makes a big difference. You can also read Jane's piece about PP2018 there.
Three years of research, writing, re-writing, angst, hair-tearing, lots of tears and some moments of pure joy...finally signed off #AboveUsTheStars today. It’s on its way to the printers and I’m TERRIFIED @10Association

Should’ve been attending the wonderful @ProjectProp Second World War aircrew reunion at Halfpenny Green today. It’s a truly fabulous project, organised by some very dedicated people. Here’s a thing I wrote about it in 2018 ♥️

As part of the Royal Air Force Association "Project Entertain" initiative, on Friday at 11am I'm giving a Zoom presentation about Project Propeller. I'll cover PP's history, the planning aspects of an event, and recall some veteran stories/ experiences. https://t.co/tJRzSxXW9E
