Burma Star Veteran
A reunion took place at Eggesford Airfield recently, which was surprisingly organised by young Oliver aged 10.
When Oliver was asked by his school to do a project on a subject of his choice, he didn't choose football or skateboarding, he choose to do a project on his great-grandfather, Ray Pett. Ray Pett was a gunner with 656 squadron during world war 2. During his time in Burma he flew in the Mark 3 Auster. The Mark 3 Auster served in the Far East being used for heavy gun spotting. Oliver, on investigation, discovered this aircraft at Eggesford and organised for his great-grandfather to visit.
