He He! 'New' boy, at 78 in two months!!!
Hi, I was 9 when the war started and have some memories. Left school in '44had a job at Grimsby naval base HMS Beaver, a naval messenger, bell bottoms as well! Did National Service in the Royal Artillery Ack Ack regiment. Three months after demob, I was in the Royal Air force, square bashing at Bridgnorth, trade training at Melksham (electrical mech) posted to RAF Binbrook, joined 617 Squadron working on Avro Lincolns. Later on I went on the fitters course, 6 months. When I came back, we had Canberra's, beautiful aircraft. I now help my wife breeding miniature poodles and putting time in at the local Aviation Museum.
