Point taken, but for her it was only ever going to be RAF if anything ...........if I can claim my being attached to [rather than of], the RAF more or less continuously for 41 years, she is 4th generation. A privileged day at Coningsby in early Typhoon days put her off following GPA into the Met.Office [!], and impressed her deeply with the quality of the serving people and the station.
We shall see..
