In the last year and a quarter this thread has been one of the most interesting, informative and enjoyable that I have ever read. Not only the two main posters, but also the newer posters giving their memories have made it so.We can now add GordonPDavies to this list. It really would be great pulse1 if you could get your neighbour's memories added to this thread. His age should not preclude him from contributing. As far as I can see the older they are the more able to use a computer they are. We need more memories permanently recorded. One of my biggest regrets is that my late father, regular army not RAF, would only talk about the 'good times' and not the hard work that went into his career.
