At fifteen years old my Dad looked at me & wondered how he could get me off his hands. It was either the "Pit" (Mining) or the RAF. I had a very poor education & was a bit of a plank. I wanted to be an Archaeologist (still do !). Saw an Ad in "Eagle" comic & had an exam,IQ test & interview with Squadron Ldr. Candy at RAF Halton. Joined the RAF at 15 1/2 years old. You could in them
days ! Have had a long & interesting career as a Licenced Tech.
in Avionics (Full B2), all A/C types. Retiring in 2 years time. Thanks to Dad,Sqdn.Ldr.Candy,RAF & Civvy Street
