My dad (ha ha) updated with new photo!!

Right I thought you olot would find this funny.

I have attached a photo of my dad, taken during his National Service.

A group photo, I wanted dad taken out of the photo, so we could have a pic of him alone.

And here is what I got

Dad is on the front row an the left.

Somewhere in Oxford Kyt. Bilston I think was where the camp was.

My husband gave dad a copy of the photo yesterday, dad roared with laughter, he thought it was so funny. He has a great sense of humour.

David I want a steering wheel put there next lol.
That's what the man who put the lollies said when he first done the photo for me.

"Here's a photo of you dad without his steering wheel"

Kyt I asked dad about the black guy.
He said he was only there for about two weeks training, then they de -mobbed him.


Anyway here is another photo of dad.

He'd look about right sitting behind the wheel of a WD Bedford!
