RAF WW2 pilot training

Just joined this website located from Google.
I joined the RAF in Sept.1942 as a volunteer.
Training at Sywell on Tigers and later in Canada, finishing at 514 Sqdn. Waterbeach, Cambs. on Lancasters. 1945 extended my service for 18 moths. Joined 24 Reserve flying school at Rochester.
Later went back to RAF for 2 years on Lancasters and Lincolns.
Later volunteered for special 3 months to fly Spitfires and Vampires in spite of being a heavy bomber pilot - Korean War - but never required.
Joined the civil airlines. Skyways, Euravia, Britannia, Transglobe, Tradewinds, then retirement.

Those interested please mail me.
