Bumper............
My Dad says that 1 person stood on it and another pushed them round to get a good shine.
He also confirms the 'bunch of rags on feet' to make sure the shine stayed...............
Re: Trades - apparently after RAF Cardington to report for call up, RAF Bridgenorth for basic he went to RAF Yatesbury for Radio school followed by 18 months at RAF Luqa on ASV13 (Shackletons 37 & 38 Sqn) followed by back to RAF Cardington for Demob. If he stayed the RAF would have given him promotion to Cpl (10 shillings a day) but Marconi were recruiting people outside the main gate for 15 shillings a day............. so that was where he went...............
