Decima Francis is amazing I truly believe don that you should apply for the wind rush grant.
Ms Francis is so inspiring and she moves me .
I reflect on knowing her and her brothers years ago at george street handsworth.
What an amazing woman.
Thank you Reita, yes it was a very enjoyable interview with Decima, so inspiring and encouraging. It was great to catch up with her after decades and I am hoping to catch up with her siblings also.
I would love to catch up with you also Reita, if possible, to reminisce of our younger days.

We rest on the shoulders of those who have laid the foundation for our elevation. I am proud to support this initiative, it inspires me to believe in a better future.
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, but better late than never as they saying goes. Your comments are very helpful and encouraging, which is what we need to continue this journey of providing the varied information on our website. Donald
I am spreading the word at the Chester Armed Forces Flag raising yesterday (20.06.22) at the old garrison Town Hall. Making the most of opportunities to stay connected with the grassroots veterans and their family support groups. Come and have your say @ https://www1.chester.ac.uk/westminster-centre-research-veterans/research/understanding-impact-serving-within-united-kingdom
My father came over to this country from Jamaica with the RAF. Our house was always full on Sundays with my ‘uncles’ who served. Not everyone was Jamaican – lovely happy times. Sadly no-one is left. Organisation like yours is much needed – well done.
Thank you so, so much Delsierene, it is our aim to represent people like your father and others, past, present and future generations. Your comments are fully appreciated. Donald
I think this project is such an excellent development, having a few years ago attended a seminar on the importance of attachment, loss and healing for the Windrush generation . This recording of our experience will help progress what needs to be an ongoing conversations within our communities.
On a personal level that one workshop answered for me so many questions and certainly changed the way I saw my parents, the decisions they made And the cost .
Angela, so please you find our site and project very useful. It is our utmost aim and intention to educate all of our sacrifices and contributions.
Was interested to read about Don in the latest Air Mail.
I was the Flt Sgt in Station Workshops at Cosford and later left the RAF and worked for Serco Aerospace as Groung Eng Manager at Cosford.
We did quite a lot of work for Don including one task involving miles of Lino to recover his parachute packing tables!
My best regards to Don, whether he remembers me or not!
Chris.
Just read your story in Airmail and have to say it was a wonderful read Donald.
All the very best for your Forgotten Generations project. A shame we live in a world where this sort of thing has to be done but every stone turned over is light to the soil underneath. Blessings.
We need to turn up / dressed up at every Air Show in the Uk. We have been overlooked for too long.
Thank you Elaine, I totally agree with your statement. It would be great if you could become a member of our organisation to support us in any way you can, even by turning up with us that the events we plan through out the year. It’s free membership by just completing the form at the top of this page.
It would be great if you could attend our next event at the National Memorial Arboretum, Remembering Soldier Private Herbert Morris, on Sunday 17th September at 2pm.
Many thanks

These are so pertinent to the legacy of the afro-Caribbean and others who went through similar circumstances. So important that they are not being allowed to stay forgotten. Keep up the good work.
