Hi You will have all read this before. I have had to re register due to a senior moment, I forgot to write down my details and could not log on. got it right this time.
I trained as a coach builder (wood body maker) with a bus company after I left school. Then rather than do national service, I volunteered for service in the Royal Air Force and finished up completing a pensionable engagement, serving both in the Far East & Middle East, also visiting many other places around the globe.

My wife & I lived mainly in the home counties while seving in this country. My wife came from Carlisle and I was born in Southampton

I took up photography while seving an unaccompanied tour in Aden, and although things lapsed a bit from time to time, I will be getting back into it. My wife of 44 years passed to spirit on 16th November 2006, and I am getting back into things.
It is a good thing that I have my little dog Rusty for company, he is a German Spitz Klien (a lot of people think that he is a pom) his birthday is the same as mine, so he was eight yesterday.
