Memories

My first squadron ( I was an engineer) after completing apprentice course was 736 Sq which I joined in April 1962. I thought it was an awesome machine ( my contemporaries went to 738 & 764 -Hunters -paah !). I recall seeing Lt Cdr Grier-Rees name painted on the cockpit of one of the aircraft and the most recent additions to this thread brings to mind attending Lt Skrodski's funeral at the cemetery on the Milltown road. - not a week went by at Lossie ( as I recall) but something somewhere didn't spear in on approach/takeoff or on some hillside in Scotland .
