I hope this posting works as its my first foray into Photobucket.
The picture was taken as RAF Kirton Lindsey in 1965, before the move to Spitalgate. The seated line are Bill Walker (later to become an MP), Ann Moss, the unit's secretary, Flt Lt Tom Rayner, CO, Flt Lt Harry Monks, Adj. (left the RAF shortly after the picture was taken, Bob Hewitt, E G Hart, CFI. In front is Flt Lt Brian (Bebe) Sharman, the new Adj. and standing behind Harry Monks is Peter Bullivant.
The CO and Adjs were regular serving members of the RAF, the others were commissioned in the RAF Reserve, Class J - effectively civil servants. The airmen were a/c maintenance technicians, some with impressive carpentry skills, and drivers.
In all it was a very happy group, self-contained as the only flying unit on the station and thus free from interference.
