Country:  |  Hi from England !!
 Hi all , This looked like my sort of site so I thought I'd join up!!.My father Was Sgt. Tech. Instructor during ww2, 44-45 was Sgt Groundcrew (Fitter/ Rigger) with 625 Sqn (Lancasters) RAF Kelstern Lincolnshire (satellite of Binbrook). Posted RAF Cosford 1946 & returned to civilian instructor. After leaving RAF for school teaching, he rejoined VRT Commissioned F/o. & became 2 I/c 2224 Albrighton Sqn ATC.
At 18 i applied for Fleet Air Arm ( Naval Air Mech) only to be told I was deaf in One Ear---Oh well allways kept abreast of Aviation & ww2 in other ways.........Will post again soon & stick in a few opinions....  |
