Just nipping back to say that I never met Douglas Bader, but I did meet Kenneth Moore, so that's pretty close isn't it?
After the comments about chefs, in serious mode for once, I went to the PRO in Kew to look up stuff about my Dad who was in Burma etc during WW2.
It was interesting reading the Squadron records and seeing that whenever the airfield was moved, among the first people at the new location were a bunch of chefs and kitchen hands.
I asked Dad about this and he said that when the bulk of the chaps arrived if there wasn't some wad and cha available there would have been a riot.
