RAF Air Movements 1953-1961

About Me

National Service 1956/58 Cardington,Bridgenorth,Compton Bassett, SaxaVord,Leeming. Teleprinter Op.SAC. 1st DJ on radio Saxa. Now 70yrs and just started with laptop and internet ,plodding on in my own way with it,hence my probs in downloading pictures etc but it will come to hand I'm sure. I draw and paint but the `internet` has put a halt on that for a while. I started to write notes for `memoirs` some time ago, so just getting them on `WORD` programme on computer at this time. Started Leeds first Kendo club in around 68 and instructed Self Defence at US Base Menwith Hill around 1963/65. Once got a good thrashing off Pat Roach (Bomber from Aufweidesien Pet) when he was wrestling in Leeds and trained in the club where I was working at the time, foolishly I asked him if I could `spar` with him a bit, but you live and supposedly learn dont you?lol  he was a big skillfull and nice guy. I get to a Jazz club at least once a week and many of the fans are older than me so thats a plus.Very pleased when Compton B came to mind and I found this site as I diddled aimlessly on the netbig grin Won't bore you with any more waffle but will look forward to `logging in` a few times a week  for any tit bits and more than hopefully for a `contact`. I had some fun in my short time at CB and once I get `the hang of things' re sending old pictures on the comp. then I can relate to one or two.Take care all and lets talk soon. Best regards Bob.
