VIMY 105
Three years ago this month, the Vimy Flight Team had a most marvelous adventure in France as part of Canada’s 2017 mini expeditionary force. The memories of that country and the people are etched forever in our minds.
In a time of coronavirus, we have no concept of what a new normal might be when this dreadful plague is finally over... But a thought of gathering two years hence at Lens Benifontaine Airfield for Vimy 105, has been broached.
For those who are able, such a meeting, once more, in the land that hosted, with the people who welcomed, would be proof that Remembrance efforts made on behalf of Canada’s First World War Fallen, can and will endure.
