Gday to everyone
My grandfather George William Patmore started work at Fairey Hayes in 1936 aged 25yrs and retired (took redundancy) in 1975 ish. He was offered a transfer to Devon but declined. He lived his whole life in Denham.
He recieved a gold pocket watch for 25yrs service, he also had a brass plane (looks like a spitfire) mounted on cockpit sheilding as well as a knight in armour 6 inches in height, very detailed, given to him in the 70's at Fairey.
The thing is nobody seems to know of him or what he did their. In WW2 he was a LAC. He only ever made one statement about the war:
"I island hopped salvaging downed aircraft parts to repair damaged ones, that we knew would never come back"
I have knocked on just about every door and came up with very little. I am about to apply to MOD for his service record.
Any help or information will be looked into as " I NEED TO KNOW" I have pictures i just do not know how to upload them
Regards Brian
