Old Buckenham Airfield has announced that it will hold a celebration of the life of aviation legend Wing Commander Ken Wallis following a request by his family. The airfield, of which Ken was member 007, will host a day-long celebration of Wallis’ life on Sunday 29 September.
Formal tributes will be paid by several friends and other commemorations are being planned on the day to best celebrate his extraordinary life.
The airfield is pleased to invite as many people as possible to bring their aircraft and vehicles to the celebration. Those wishing to attend are asked to let the organisers know they are coming.
