Gordon, who served for 20 years as a Chief Petty Officer in the Royal Naval Reserve, explains: “When we were handing out poppies at the airport to passengers, we asked them to write down their final destination. Even though Edinburgh Airport has flights to a number of far-flung locations, even we were surprised at how far some of those who were kind enough to donate were going. From A to Z – Australia to Zimbabwe – almost every part of the world was covered!”
