It looked different so I joined. I'm 79, don't say it too often! Lived through the war as a schoolboy Had a near miss with the butterfly bombs, it was a bit scary for a youngster, bit interesting for all that. Did national service in the Royal Artillery. Demobbed in 1950 and six months later, signed on in the Royal Air Force. Trained as electrical fitter and worked on Avro Lincolns and the Canberra with 617 Squadron. After demob, I worked for Cherry Valley Farms who produced oven ready duckling and had connections with an American firm inthe same business near Dallas. I also was thirty years with Air Cadets, received the Long Service Medal and Clasp, and the Commandants Commendation. Slowing down a bit, but still manage to put time in at the local aviation museum. Also help my wife breeding miniature poodles. We have beautiful litter at the moment going on four weeks old.
Thats all for now.
