kirkham
Cliff, I too was demobbed at Kirkham and could (almost) walk home to Blackpool but I don't remember the Astra on the way...were'nt they all called "Astra" ? For me the film that I never saw the ending of was "Night train to Munich" showing when I was cleaning the bogs in the Sgts Mess at Bicester as an AC2 GD in November 1940 when nearby Coventry was being clobbered. The Sirens would go and in the end we all gave up in disgust. Goosequill, Re your light problem ; have a look at your PM's, Reg.
