Madbob,
Although you were 15 years after me, it would seem that the old "upperclass" hazing spirit was still alive and well at Linton. Hope you got your revenge in some way !
Two questions for you: One, (long shot): were there any flying accidents on the other side of the Ouse when you were there ? And if so, do you remember where the Crash Crew crossed ? (
Bailey Bridge? Don't think so in my time, and look at it now - Google > Aldwark Toll Bridge).
Is it remotely possible that the Linton Crash Crew
did knock it down some time in the intervening years
and the RE had to put up a Bailey Bridge ?
Two (quite unrelated): You were hotfoot from Henlow in '79. Did they teach you
anything about the Ten Principles of War in those days (just wondering).
Danny.
EDIT:
Chugalug, (crept in while my back was turned)
You are much too kind, Sir. After all, I couldn't leave my poor Corporal carrying the can, now could I ? (no more would you, I'm sure).
"Put not your faith in Princes...."..... Danny.
