1. Sitting behind the pilots on the flight deck of then "All American" talking over the noise of the engines to a former B24 Flight Engineer on his first flight in a 24 since the war.
2. Coming out of the chapel near RAF Coltishall after the memorial service that was part of a 41 Squadron reunion in 1985 and having B of B flight Spit II P7350 whistle overhead in the 41 Squadron markings that it wore at the time. The Spit driver vets, along with the rest of us all looked up to hear that magical sound. Getting in the cockpit of that same Spit at the reunion was about as close to heaven as I could get at the time too.
