Today we have continued our work to construct an miniature airbase from household materials. We currently have the runway drawn and in the process of painting, a plastacine plane already constructed and painted and several other buildings and vehicles are under construction. Progress!

Former No. 10 Squadron Leader, Tom Churcher, flew numerous flights in the Berlin Airlift, mainly Lubeck, Gatow and Tempelhoff. His collection is one of the most informative we've received so far because it contains an account of his personal role in the airlift, plus the  memorabilia he reserved from the 30th anniversary celebrations where he and his wife were guests in Berlin.  Amongst the papers he describes a day in the life of an airlift pilot.  Here are some of Mr Churcher's photos and memorabilia:
