From Locking to Bawdsey: excellent first posting for a number of us... didn't want to leave. 1966: Neatishead but, following the fire disaster and subsequent inevitable courses, joined No1 Aircraft Control Centre (1ACC), Wattisham, at "Have Radar Will Travel", roaming the World. 1970: Skynet course, then off to Hittadu, Maldives, for an 11 month holiday, (thanks to "Uncle Sam" who lost our Satellite - some of my best men!). 1971: Back to Wattisham, 1ACC. 1972: Married to Pam. 1974: Posted to NATO Programming Centre at Glons, (SHAPE) - great post, but sadly the start of a long illness for Pam. 1977: Posted to North Luffenham. 1980: Began last tour of duty on Bloodhounds at Wattisham. 1983: Detached Falklands - included 1 month's cruise each way on SS Uganda, with the Gurkhas - great blokes. 1984: Freedom!! Ginge Melville, who had "shadowed me" for many years, as SWO at Honington, Wattisham and the Falklands, invited me for "Tiffin", in his office on my last day. My first taste of Sherry (before Sundowners!!), P....d before teabreak, wonderful!! I know a number of us doubted his parentage between 1962 and 1964, but that man thought the world of "his 100th Entry" and every member of it .... believe me! After "TOPS" Course, became customer service engineer covering USAF bases in Germany. Moved to Pre-Press industry, as a customer service engineer for Compugraphic, covering Hunstanton. Then down to Eastbourne. Redundancy struck in 1990. After sampling "Engineering type factory work" (not recommended), became "full time carer" for Pam, who died in 2001. Still living as a Hermit in leafy Suffolk.

I have had two sons (one is a project architect who has just overseen the construction of the new shopping mall here in Plymouth) and a daughter (with a dance degree) and also inherited a talented step family, I am now retired and living in Plymouth with my wife Jean, and pursuing my hobbies of flying radio control model aircraft and building an American model railroad.
