After watching the Passing Out Parade (my leg was in plaster at the time), I was eventually posted to Lyneham after a stay in hospital and a visit back to Locking! Then it was on to Bahrain, Little Rissington, Cosford (where I met and married my wife Edna in 1970), St Mawgan, Luqa, High Wycombe, Cosford again, Henlow, Bruggen and finally Coningsby where I baled out in 1991 as a Warrant Officer.

We have 2 daughters, one living in Dundee the other in London, but she is threatening to move up this way as well.
