We now have a timetable for the official event:

9.00 Gates open

10.00 Official opening with the commemoration of a plaque dedicated to Albert Ball

10.30 bagpipe players will play about 20 minutes

11.00 a short speech of the head supervisor and there will be the pigeons (Doves?) flight

11.30 a second play of bagpipes

12.00 closing of the exhibition

12.00 to 13.30 lunch

For those who wish to go to the cemetery there will be a service of remembrance by a reverend at 14:00 with laying of wreaths by the relatives and officials followed by a short speech by officials of Nottingham.

So, with our plan for the main group to leave the hotel at 09:00, the quick route to the crash site should get us there for 10:15 to meet up with Ian, Marie and Gerald.

If we lay our wreath at 10:30 it's then only 5 mins to the school so we should be OK to arrive at 10:50 - as we wouldn't want to interrupt the bagpipes - would we innocent
