Welcome to the forum Tripod. Were you an AD-R by chance ? I'm retired USN too, served 1951-1971, was a RM.
This is a great place for anyone who enjoys anything to do with WW-II aircraft, regardless of what country they
belonged to.

Joe will be along soon, to welcome you, he's a pilot and mechanic. You two will get along fine.

Charles
