RAF Finningley, Freedom of Doncaster Parade 1976
And you celebrated that.....
Bill and 'Speedy' - 'Uncle Les' R***a wasn't perhaps the sharpest tool in the box, but had a heart of gold. At the end of Term 1, the idle taxi drivers from Sleapit had left several of us in the lurch and in danger of missing our trains....
Until, that is, Les gave us all a lift to Grantham and wouldn't take a penny for his kindness.
In Term 2, he would willingly allowed himself to be distracted by the Block batmen with the odd tot of rum (or few) on our weekly inspection days, so they were always far from onerous.
All part of the RAF 'family' of those days!!
