A slight interlude

Just thought that I would record that I spent an excellent day at RAF St Athan today to celebrate its 75th year.

It was here, at 4 School of Technical Training, that 22,599 Flight Engineers, including my partner's grandfather (who was KIA in 1945), received their Ab Initio Training.

Another trainee was, of course, the originator of this great thread and many of Cliff's postings record his time there, enabling the memories of St Athan to live on.

Regards

Pete
