He is helping to arrange our poem drop at Le Quesnoy.The full story of the liberation of Le Quesnoy in the last week of World War 1 can be found here The Le Quesnoy Story – NZ Remembers.  The Town was fortified by the great architect, Vauban, and presented a very difficult target given that the towns people were all locked up inside.  However, using artillery sparingly and with the initiative of a subaltern in finding a discrete point of entry, they managed to liberate the town without a single civilian dying.  However it was at considerable cost to the Division as 196 soldier died in the assault.Want to know more? Want to join in?https://ww1aviationheritagetrust.co.uk/index.php/ww1-poetry-registration/Buy Poem Paper?https://roamwildproducts.co.uk/collections/seeded-paper/products/roamwild-seeded-paperDownload Lesson Plan, Video and Slideshow?https://ww1aviationheritagetrust.co.uk/index.php/poetry-temporary-landing-page/Help us fund the project.https://wwoneaviationheritage.enthuse.com/cf/the-poetry-planeThe Plan The PoemsThe PoppyLe BleuetThe Forget-Me-NotLochnagarThiepvalLe QuesnoyThe PlanesDH9 – 1918DH9 – 2025Tiger Moth – 1943Tiger Moth – 2025The ClearancesThe People Clive DenneyWillie HarrisonThe TwinsDick ForsytheSally CrabtreeJean-Philippe FromentCeline PlantainYour PartFranceBritainNZGermanyCanadaUSA

The French launched their own offensive to the south of the River Somme at the same time. There are over 72000 names of the missing from Britain and South Africa inscribed on the lower supports of the monument.  Those missing in the Battle from Australia, New Zealand and Canada are recorded in their own National Memorials. The Thiepval Memorial which towers over the surrounding Somme landscape was designed by Edward Lutyens and built 1928-1932. It took some time to come into being as there was considerable debate about the scale of structure needed to reflect the enormity of the sacrifice.The first day of the Battle was a disaster with over 56000 dead, wounded and missing – a figure that seems unbelievable today.  It was preceded by a 7-day artillery bombardment expected to clear paths through the minefields and wire obstacles and destroy the enemy in their trenches.  It did not work and merely signalled the allied intent so the Germans were forewarned.  It churned up the ground and did not remove the wire obstacles as expected. The result was the enormous loss of life on the first day. The Germans tenaciously held on to Thiepval, the first day objective, for 3 months till the end of September 1916. As winter approached, the Germans retreated to the newly prepared Hindenburg Line but there was more fighting over the Somme Battlefields when the Germans launched their Spring Offensive on 21 March 1918. The names on the Memorial include those who died at the Somme up to this date.

In UK, you apply to the General  Aviation Department of the Civil Aviation having secured the agreement of the site.  In France, the process starts by circulating a similar form with site agreement to the local mayor who seeks the agreement of the District  and Regional offices (Sous-Prefeture and Prefeture).  It is then forwarded to the DGAC (the French equivalent to the CAA and issued through their regional office – DSAC N in this instance. Once this is approved, an approval for flight in French airspace is given (laisser passer) and the final step is to seek approval for flight of an aircraft in military markings. The approval process takes 4 months. The Trust would like to thank all the officials involved in this process for Lochnagar and Thiepval,  and those approving the Le Quesnoy drop, for their help and support.Want to know more?

The mine was 313m long and dug in silence as German defensive mines were dug to listen and, if possible, destroy allied mines. The Crater is one of 17 detonated as the Battle began.  By the end of this dreadful day, 56000 allied troops were dead or wounded. The Crater is over 100m across and now owned by a British man, Richard Dunning, who bought the land ~ 50 years ago to prevent it being filled in.  Every year at 0728 on 1 July whistles are blown and a rocket fired at the start of a  commemoration to mark the lives lost in 1916.  In 2024, a WW1 AHT aircraft dropped poems written by British, French and German children at the end of the ceremony which we seek to drop again on 1 July 2025.Want to know more?

The Trust was formed out of a chance meeting at TVAL in Wellington, NZ, by him in 2013. He is a 3rd generation aviator stretching back in an unbroken line from his retirement in 2002 to his grandfather in the RNAS in 1915.  All 3 generations were pilots from Bristol Fighter, Lancasters/Canberra, to helicopters from Whirlwind to Chinook.  His father and grandfather won DFCs in their respective Wars, and both commanded No 16 Squadron.  Dick commanded 240 OCU and set up and ran the aircrew training for the Chinook when it came into service.  The Trust came out of nowhere but it has been an absolute privilege to direct its progress for its first 10 yearsWant to know more?

The aircraft was previously last flown in France in 1969 before being moved to storage in England. It has been painstakingly restored since 2021 by the current owners and returned to flight in July 2022 on an LAA Permit. G-BTOG is painted in a unique WWII USAAF paint scheme representing one of a handful of Tiger Moths loaned to the USAAF as a communications aircraft.

Reference to it can be found as far back as Henry IV who adopted it as an emblem and subsequently in Victorian times immortalised by Coleridge. The story of the Forget-Me-Not as the Flower of Remembrance of Germany is not clear cut and interwoven with the difficult history of the two World Wars in the twentieth century.  In 1951, the National Day of Mourning was reintroduced in Germany as an occasion to remember all victims of war and strife with the Forget-Me-Not as a symbol of remembrance.  This was reconfirmed by the German Embassy in London in 2015 by a post on Twitter (now X) which reflects the uncertainty about its selection.

They travel to wherever our aircraft go in England and occasionally to Northern France as they will do on 1 Jul 25 for the Somme Commemorations and at Le Quesnoy to commemorate the liberation of that fortified town by the Kiwi Division. They move, refuel and prop-swing the aircraft and in between they set up and run our WW1 VR SE5a simulator or Rocking Nacelle to give it its original name. Flying a Mission in the Simulator gives the public a very realistic experience of WW aerial combat.   This involves the Twins deploying most weekends during the season if not to air shows, then to the myriad of events in Essex – Open Farm Sunday at Tiptree and the Burnham Kite festival to name two. They also enjoy attending a series of Christmas activities  as Father Christmas and Elf inviting donations for WW1 AHT.All that may sound a lot, but the Trust has been visiting primary schools in Essex with a day-long STEM Simulator visit once a week in term time.  We have visited nearly one hundred schools since 2022 mostly funded by a Government grant. The Twins have delivered the Rocking nacelle In its trailer to every visit. We are self-funding 15 visits in the first half of 2022 while we seek funding from the NLHF for the next few years. The WW1 poems written by the School children as part of each visit will be dropped at the Commemorations in JulyWant to know more?
