To all fellow aviators. Jim Lawton leaves the army early next year. We are intending to give him a good send off, in the form of, lunch, drinks and good company. on Thurday 9th December, in the Sgts' Mess at RAF Shawbury.
If you would like to join us please contact me at the e-mail address below, or give me a ring on 01939 250351 ext 7079.
Accomodation is available in both messes on a first come first served basis. Also I will provide a list of local B&B's and hotels if required.
Also i would appreciate any stories, good luck messages, etc so they can be shared with all on the day.
Please spread the word, I need to go firm on numbers by the end of the month (October).
Thanx, and hope to see as many as possible.

My first flight with the man who must have been an inspiration to many a crewman.
Very best wishes for the future from SS & Mrs SS.

SS,

He has some run of the mill job at shawbury.... Chief Executioner! Good luck in retirement to a first class CFI. Even though he was the 'enemy' when I was on CFS, Jim always gave unbiased, quality advice.
Carl, it was an excellent do. Many thanks for organising it, saw many people that I hadn't seen for years.
Jim was well confused towards the end. He said that I was the best pilot he ever flew with when he was in Hong Kong.
Trouble is, is that I've never been to Hong Kong.
