More than 150 airmen who flew Mosquito planes during World War II enjoyed a final reunion on Saturday.
Due to its ageing membership, the Mosquito Aircrew Association gathered for the last time at the Royal Air Force Museum, London.
Members have inspected one of the planes - considered one of the most dangerous during the war as it could outpace any other aircraft.
The association was set up in 1991 for the veterans to reminisce.
Founder member Eric Atkins, who won numerous medals as a flight lieutenant, said the Mosquito was "like a racehorse" compared with the "drey horses of metal aircraft".
