good memories also
Hi Tex. I'm sorry I don't remember you. Yes, Cat. Hickey was my original CO and if my memory serves me right, he sported a huge set of whiskers! I also recall the name Capt. Bedford-Davies and remember the Irish RAF sergeant airframe fitter, but can't remember his name - he was the senior RAF man on the flight and left quite soon after I arrived. L/Cpl Demicoli sounds familiar and I think I have a photo of him and others Christmas partying at A16 strip, where we were temporarily transferred to while A10 airstrip and accommodation was upgraded and a 'control tower' was installed.
I am forwarding some photos to "I42" by email as I can't post them on here, I hope that he can post them on here, if not I will send you a PM for your email address.
Regards, Charlie.
