TOW, a brilliant start to Peter's story that promises to be as captivating as Cliff's and Reg's. There seems to be so many similarities to these early stages, but the individual details say so much. ADCC, ATC, LDV, reserve occupation, volunteer for RAF service, yet....
I cannot honestly say that I was motivated by any sense of patriotism. The object was to get my hands on an aeroplane and learn to fly it!

You could have fooled me, Peter! Your modesty is shared by Cliff and Reg, and I would suggest by most of your remarkable generation. Cometh the hour, cometh the Men and Women, thank God!
How good to see Cliff taking on the role of IT mentor! Now see what you've started Cliff, truly the best PPRuNe thread ever and of a significance that will outlast us all. Well done to all of you who add to our knowledge of those dangerous and vital times and thank you.
