"Lest We Forget"🌹

On 25th April 1915, thousands of Australian & New Zealand soldiers sacrificed so much for us in the Gallipoli Peninsula Turkey.
No military flypasts today but here is a photo of a Royal New Zealand Air Force Boeing P-8A Poseidon conducting a flypast over Anzac Park (Nelson) last year to comemorate Anzac Day.
