There was jammy and there was jammy!
consider the desperate hardship of 3 years in the sun at RAF Nicosia, then 3 at Leeming, Topcliffe,
3 years at EDUO with the Hunters and Lightnings
5 years at Finningley
3 teaching in Met Office College
3 years in JHQ as senior forecaster
HQ 1 Gp in time for the Falklands
a few years in the wilderness of Civil
6 years in JHQ as C Met O BFG
Pass GO, collect pension .............
Somebody had to do the hard yards, wish I could have been lucky.
Seriously, the great times we had alongside the RAF remain as highlights in our lives. The great times that we remember through the haze, that is.
