Reg Clemmett 91 yr old former RAF radio mechanic
This may of interest to folk in the York area
On D-Day, he crossed the Channel but was unable to embark on Gold Beach when his tank landing craft reached Normandy because of a mechanical problem and he had to remain offshore overnight before landing successfully the next day.
He then made his way inland, and set up his aerial to provide wireless communications between the army front line and its headquarters, and he carried on providing this service throughout the rest of the war.

Lets hope that York can see Reg off in proper fashion. What a history and what service the man gave. Unfortunately, I can't attend, but hope that there is good support.
