I always wanted to join the RAF, and remember reading books about aircraft in the late 70s/early 80s. I often wondered where the grainy aircraft photos came from. I have now been in the RAF for 32 years and have a Father-in-Law who was on BRIXMIS. His stories are certainly interesting, and he is very proud of the fact that he was never caught by the 'narks'. He tells a story about being the driver on one mission when they were ambushed by East German forces. The RAF Officer in the back was crying with fear and demanded that they surrender. My Father-in-Law ignored this and sped off bouncing across fields and ditches back to homeplate. They made it back safely and he drove the wrecked Opel back into MT and immediately signed for a brand new one!
