angels,
Welcome back! Before I ventured onto this wonderful Thread last January, I'd read and re-read the 112 pages which had gone before, and remember well your late father's memoirs. You are quite right to be proud of him!
Things have changed since then, and I seem to be left "holding the fort", ever hoping that we can find more old-timers to lend a hand. The chance of getting actual participants is fading by the day, and the next best thing is to look to your generation (and the following one) to root out any memoirs that Dad or Grandad may have left tucked away at the back of a drawer. So if you've got any more, I'm sure that we all (Moderators included, if I may be so bold) would be more than glad to read them here
Goodnight, and thank you for your kind compliments,
Danny.
