Fan Blade - Thank You for your remarks on Derek and Dad. Yes he could be grumpy...LOL But when he and Derek got together. they were like naughty school boys, always chuckling... I've come across this website by chance after going through the history of PA474. Someone thought Laarbruch was the only time the Lanc visited Germany? But wasn't there a trip to Berlin during the 70's too? I remember Bill and "Jacko" and the Name Ray Leach does ring a bell too. Any more anecdotes from those days would love to hear them. I was at Waddington back in August for the memorial fly pass. Great Day and great to be up and close to the old girl.... And Hello to Pauline too.....First time I met Derek, Shelia and Pauline, would have been 1969/70....RAF Boscombe Down... We were but children then...Ahh!
Cheers
Robin..
