Tony Foulds Sheffield Memorial Flypast Preview 21st Feb 2019

Eyes to the skies on the 22nd Feb 2019 as the guys from Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Coningsby provide a flypast over Sheffield to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of a B17 crash, in which all the crew lost their lives. Tony Foulds was a schoolboy then and was on a playing field when the aircraft crashed. This video is a preview of what is planned to happen tomorrow, 22nd Feb 2019.

This man deserves an MBE for all of his efforts, please like and maybe something may happen this would be the icing on the cake for him.

I agree, or at the least, they could give him the Freedom Of The City Of Sheffield for what hes done.. He probably wouldnt want to accept it, because what he does he does for his "family", but it would be nice if he was at least offered something..

[@PiperX1X]

I’ve emailed the mayor of Sheffield asking if anything can be done either his name to be put forward for an MBE or as you said freedom of the city, the more people who shout out for this hopefully something will be done. So all you folk out there do what I did, those who shout the loudest will be heard.

Lets me know if a petition is drawn up Jonathan, I would be more than willing to sign and share it.

As I’m aware the only way forward is for the public to nominate a person, in this case Tony. This must be done on the government page as follows www.gov>honours. It comes under nominate someone for an honour or award-gov.uk So come on all of you get his name put forward it’s easy to do and doesn’t take long, Tony Foulds MBE has a ring to it if you ask me.

Agreed, a lot of far less deserving people get rewards. Tony Foulds should indeed get an MBE.

[@tgpok4r]

very moving story, a man who did all this over many many years for no reward, he deserves all this very well done hope your family are proud of you Tony

[@PiperX1X]

I’m so pleased that a petition has now started for Tony to get an MBE it can be found on the star website the direct gov page so come on all get it signed!

Mi Amigo was part of the 305th Bombardment Group, based at Chelveston. One can visit the graves of three of these crew at the American Cemetery at Madingley, near Cambridge.

I'm not paying much attention to the story before......all of them died at once...the good thing is that,,the enemies didn't capture them..they were still at the British soil
