Hi Karen,
Unfortunately, due to having a sight defect, flying, and many other career choices, were closed to me. However, I have always had a keen interest in the RAF and Leuchars.


I spent part of my childhood in Carnoustie, and as lads we used to go to the open days each year. We used to cycle to Dundee, get on the ferry to Fife, then cycle to Leuchars. On the way back, we used to get fish and chips from a chippy next to the ferry terminal and eat them on the way back to Dundee. It was one of the best chip shops in Scotland!


I have some photographs from the mid 1960's from one of these days that I can copy & send to you if you wish. Just let me know.


Can you please also let me know the details of the exhibition once you have them, as although I now live in Aberdeenshire, I'd love to go and see it.


Jim
