My daughter has just graduated from No1 Flight training school RAF Shawbury and while there the trainee Helicopter Pilots from all the three services were awarded their wings, The Albert Ball VC Trophy is also awarded to the Pilot who achieved the best overall performance during their training. Albert Ball was asigned to 60 squadron during the later stages of WW1 which is now the Helicopter training squadron based at RAF Shawbury
Searching for the Albert Ball Memorial on our way from France to Ypres, Belgium. It took some time, walking and crossing a farmers field, but we managed. We thought we just could not pass by without paying tribute!🙏🏻☘️☘️
