Roger Morton

I was stationed at Marham in 1968 as an Nav Bomb System Corporal tech. and thanks to the RAFMSA took part in my hobby of rally driving. I had my own rally mini as did Roger Morton and we had become friends in spite of the service ban on other ranks mixing with officers. (different times as they say) Roger and I had managed to mix socially due to our shared interest in motor sport and I and my then wife had some brief but fun social times.
On that awful night in 1968 I had heard the news on the radio and upon arriving at work from my home off camp the next morning, I had to drive past number 2 hangar and was shattered by the sight of Rogers mini parked forlornly in front of the hangar and I began to realise that this terrible crash would have even more impact on me as someone I knew well was obviously involved.
Even though it is now almost 47 years ago I can still picture that memory of Rogers car and the effect it had on me that morning.
What I do know is that Roger was doing what he loved doing that night.
I remember Roger as fun loving chap and a good friend.
