The Wing – a Visitor Centre – is under construction and will open in spring 2015. Despite the heavy rain early in the event, the weather improved sufficiently for the Service to take place. Wreaths were laid followed by the placing of flowers at the Foxley-Norris Wall of Remembrance. To everyone’s delight it was possible to hold a flying display of a Hurricane and Spitfire aircraft.
