Calender

Calender

My father was in the RAF Marine Branch so was heavily involved in SAR helicopters. I originally wanted to be an engineer but Biggin Hill said Nah go to Cranwell as they say the rest is history.

Same entry as Eric at Sleaford tech. Thoroughly nice guy, full of character. Can't make the funeral, I live in Yorkshire, but my thoughts are with you all.

Age Discrimination

Count me in for £100. I am in ABZ but could be working much closer to home in Yorkshire if it wasn't for this daft legislation. Andy, I didn't think you were that old! Worn well!
