Kim adds: You, me & Nana in Spring or early summer 1952 in front of number 14/11, ??? Road, RAF Watton, nr Norwich. This was sergeant’s quarters as it was just before Dad got his Q-Commission and went of to Malaya to work with the SAS in raking the CTs out of the forest. I’m 4½ years and I can thank my lucky stars that I didn’t turn out gay! Granddad must have already died and Nana lived for another ~10 years. |
