Hundreds of Men and women, members of the Royal Observer Corps were entertained at North

Hundreds of Men and women, members of the Royal Observer Corps were entertained at North Weald Aerodrome today with an air display. The occasion was also the stand down parade of the RoC but not the disbanding of the Corps. There will still be a skeleton membership, in feet the RoC will still exist. Men and women from all over Britain attended the ceremony. Photo shows. This is a new one on them. The Meteor Jet plane flies over the RoC Ceremony. Hardly and of the members of the Corps have seen this aircraft before. June 1945 P004824

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1945, we are transported back to a momentous occasion at North Weald Aerodrome. Hundreds of men and women, proud members of the Royal Observer Corps (RoC), gather for a day filled with excitement and entertainment. The air display serves as both a celebration and a farewell, as it marks the stand down parade of the RoC without disbanding the Corps entirely. People from all corners of Britain have come together to witness this historic event. As they eagerly look up into the sky, their eyes widen in awe at an extraordinary sight - the Meteor Jet plane gracefully soaring above them. This magnificent aircraft is unfamiliar to most members of the Corps, making its presence even more thrilling. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and admiration for these brave individuals who have dedicated themselves to protecting their nation's skies. The photograph captures not only their genuine surprise but also their unwavering commitment to duty. Preserved through time by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image encapsulates an era when aviation held immense fascination and air shows were cherished events that brought communities closer together. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who served diligently in defense of their country during one of history's defining decades – the 1940s.
