@history99917180 ...sorry, not job but an IT gremlin. Rome, ended up in a hotel for a week full of Italian Sikhs at some kind of conference. Taken out to see the sights of Rome by a nice young Italian girl of 17-18, but her Mum came along as a chaperone because English people cannot be trusted!

@Xairobi @CcibChris Sure did, in the Black Buck missions.

@MungoJerryLTD I've got the Pinky and Perky version of In The Summertime, did they pay you royalties?!? 😎

@history99917180 Saw Dad earlier, he did not know your Dad but did say that as he was engines and yours was airframe, they would have been in separate areas. He said there were about 200-300 in each of those, as well as other intakes. Unless you did band together or similar, didn't really mix.

@ides_of99570 @history99917180 Thanks for that, I saw some pics of my mum and dad at a couple of the reunions.

[PhillyJ @profyaffel1]

@history99917180 Sorry to hear that, I'll ask him tomorrow. Dad was in for a few years but then left and went to work at RNAY Fleetlands in the machine shop and Test bench amongst others, working on helicopters.

@CcibChris Looking at this, just makes me feel how right DH were with the prototype Mossie design and subsequent variations.

[PhillyJ @profyaffel1]

@CcibChris Love that colour scheme.

@OldTimerMary @Alladdin1983 Everywhere, cities, towns and villages from over the years. Often seen whilst doing the daily shop and mostly respected. Also have them over most of the continents through the @CWGC . Sometimes you'll see memorials like this, a young WWII(2) Hurricane pilot who died local to me.

@WilliamShatner Ah, but is that Fruit and Nut, or Dairy...also, normal size, or family. 😎

@Iromg @Sbe Did you hand out cabbages and shout "CrackerJack" at any point?!? 😎

[PhillyJ @profyaffel1]

@FalklandsinUK A ship that survived Pearl Harbour, sunk by WWII (that's 2, not 11 😎) era torpedoes from a nuclear sub. RIP to all those who didn't survive, but a necessary course of action due to the threat posed by her.

@BigBearF1 Dog biscuits in the indoor wendy house we had at primary school...we ate them. Climbing frames over concrete playgrounds, rough concrete block 'horses' alongside them. 😎
