Ricardian you were 35th entry then?
I was 38th entry Tel II (Oct 1959 to Apr 1961), was still paying one days per year to the RAFBF when I was demobbed in 1973 & joined GCHQ.
When we moved up here shortly after I retired in 2003 I joined the local RAFA which meets in the RBL on mainland Orkney, even though I live on Stronsay; I stopped paying my subs after a couple of years when the only contact the RAFA ever made with me was a letter every Christmas containing a book of raffle tickets for me to sell.
