Front row, second from the left - has that civvy wet himself, or what?

Jul '69? On leave from Towers waiting for EX. KING ROCK '69 and 2 weeks of happy holidaymaking in Brilon Wald, Sauerland..... When the RAF could still afford such things - such as the RAF scholarship PPL course I'd one a year earlier.

We had 2 trips to Germany when I was a Flt Cdt - a week with BAOR and EX.KING ROCK. 4 legs with Air Support Command - out on a Britannia, back in a Comet 4, out in a VC10, back in a Belslow. The RAF Air Transport fleet was pretty big in those days!

On the night of the moon landing I got home late, having just driven to Exmoor and back in an aged Ford 100E, to visit my old school CCF summer camp and was too knackered to stay up late, so listened to the NASA link on my radio instead....
