Overview

A poignant return for the men of the Royal Australian Air Force who had been based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire during the Second World War. Lincoln's Cathedral acted as both a marker and a symbolic landmark for many who did not make it. 700 were killed on bombing raids and, here in conversation with Bob Warman, some of the fortunate survivors remember the days when they lived with no thoughts of tomorrow.
