At first glance it might seem like a strange
combination in this photo although it all make sense to Friends of the Odd Bods
Association, Secretary, Peter Randell.
One of the plaques is in honour of Peter’s Dad and it is
located under a Rowan
tree on the drive into the Yorkshire Air Museum. It was placed there by his old
bomb group leader, Ken Dean who passed away last year. Peter’s mate and FOTOBA
member, Bryan Wilcockson recently put a similar plaque under the tree for Ken
and part of the maintenance of the site involves polishing the brass, giving
the tree a water and occasionally a tot of spiced rum which was Ken’s
favourite.
It all makes perfect sense and illustrates a great way
to remember two special people.

Loved
the story “A Tree, Two Brass Plaques, And Two Glasses Of Spiced Rum”.
For the keen gardeners amongst you, I always fertilize the magical Rowan
