I was born in the Shetland Isle on the island of Unst while my father was based at Saxa Vord. We moved to Hong Kong, Akortiri, Cyprus and finally back to the UK where my Father retired in 1973 at Bawdsey. I served in the RAF for 7 years then returned to civi street and have sinced moved out to the U.S.A with my wife and daughters and live in Boise, Idaho.

Serving our country has been in three generation and all three of us served while our country was involved in a conflict.

Since I was young I knew my Father flew in WW 2 but it really did not mean anything until later on in life. I realised after doing a lot of research, with today's media and technology, how it has made it easier to find old comrades and other researcher's. Through them I have been able to find out about my fathers history and the Squadron's, and how much we owe these men for there bravery.
