Here is a picture that you may like which was taken at a regimental do in the "Old Aighbirth Road Mess"
I was still a member of the unit dining club even though due to the re-org and cut-backs, I had transferred to the Medics.
However as it is forever said "Once a Gunner, always a Gunner".
The Photographed are:-
Flt.Lt.John Trafford, Mrs Amie Trafford, Mrs Linda Banett and Capt K.Barnett.
I believe this was taken about Oct 1969.

For a minute there - I thought we were going to see a picture of you in a monkey suit !!!!!!!

Then you would have come full circle !!

I have posted a few pages on my web site about my own father's preparations for D-Day on the south coast of england. It's army but still captures the wonderful flavour of the atmosphere of camaraderie brewing amongst all the armed forces.
