Predannack, 17th June - can you spare a minute in my place,

Post by C24 » Fri Jun 11, 2010 7:50 am

This is a request for anyone who might be in the Helston area next Thursday morning.

Over the last 18 years I have been able to make the journey down to Predannack to hold my solo memorial ceremony to remember two friends and colleagues who were killed in an flying accident on Predannack in 1966. Last year I could not make the trip and this year is also not possible, so if you are in the area around 1035hrs, please give a thought to the memory of

'Rick' Kenrick, Mid, R.N. and 'Pete' Gwinnel, Lt., R.N. who died as a result of a Wessex colliding with their Whirlwind.

Peter left a young wife and four month old daughter.

Thank you,

Please join me in remembering these two. I regret that another year has passed which has resulted in me being unable to pay my respects in person. (Ill health strikes yet again)

Hardly a day goes by without the thought of their early death on that Friday morning.

Not forgotten. Again and probably for the future a trip to Predannack is not possible, however, as my paternal grandfather died six years earlier on the 16th a combined gathering at his grave later today should do the trick.

Thanks for sparing a thought with me.
