And your ‘today 15 year old’ probably thinks your ‘60’s 15 year old’ is nothing more than an old has-been whose not in touch with the modern youth. Who smells of mothballs and wee 😁
A sad sign of the passage of time, but I think Beagle's point is the overall size, mindset and posture of the 1960s RAF compared with today. You might recall that typical 15 year olds back in the latter 1960s were being encouraged by popular youth culture to grow their hair down to their bits and pieces, wear Kaftans, smoke dope, drop out, tune in and whatever.
