The Annual Service of Thanksgiving
The other major event is the annual Service of Thanksgiving held at St Lawrence Church, Toot Baldon, Oxfordshire, commemorating the lives of the soldiers and airmen who lost their lives in the Hastings aircraft crash at Little Baldon on 6 July 1965. Representatives from ADW, the Parachute Regiment and 36 Sqn RAF attend, and the PTS Canopy Club Standard is paraded and placed in the Church. The Service is normally held on the nearest Sunday in July to the actual date of the aircraft crash and is organised by the Oxfordshire Area Secretary.
