75 years ago the war in the Pacific ended. It is a wet and cold day here in Canberra and the big ceremony that would have taken place on the parade ground in front of the Australian War Memorial was instead a much smaller one held in the Aircraft Hall, so we stayed home and watched it on TV. The highlight of military ceremonies for this small bear is the flypast. Today it was by 2 aircraft that were in service with the RAAF throughout WW2, a Lockheed Hudson bomber and a CAC Wirraway trainer. We saw them in the distance from our bedroom window, but you have to look hard to see them :) So here's some photos that I took at their home base at Temora a few years ago. For more photos you can search Temora on my blog. The great thing about the finish of the war (for me) is that my grandfathers and their brothers all came home safe.
