Flypasts honour dark days MCCRAE resident Jean Smith has special links to a commemorative flypast at the Shrine of Remembrance next month. The tribute on Sunday 5 June will honour the 10,000 Australians who served with Bomber Command in England in World War II. Mrs Smith served with the Women’s Auxiliary Airforce in England during those dark days. She’ll watch on as trainers from the Royal Australian Air Force Museum, Point Cook, and Royal Victorian Aero Club planes from Moorabbin, make their pass, and enjoy the festivities afterwards. So keen is the 94-year-old to attend that she will splurge on a taxi to join the dwindling number of veterans keeping the memorial “flame� burning. “Shrine’s aerial ceremonies revive memories�, Page 5 Picture: Yanni
