It commemorated the anniversary of the air crash at RAF Upper Heyford, which claimed the lives of Captain Jerry Lindh and Major Mike McGuire on September 17, 1992.

Pilot Captain Jerry Lindh, 28, and navigator/weapons systems officer Major David “Mike” McGuire, 37, died when their escape pod ejected but was tangled up in fencing and also crashed.

Their self-sacrifice in staying with the disabled aircraft saved lives and houses in Upper Heyford and North Aston, near Bicester.
