My Uncles brother is on this picture, but I can't see his cap badge. I presume it's an Abingdon course. Nice to see the old Beverley.

Re: 1950's?
I can't see his cap badge either. In fact I'd go as far as to say; I can't see a picture.I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it. -

Re: 1950's?
Yes great picture Chris.
And the old smock, wish I had kept mine.
I still remember the label inside dated 1944.
Any idea of dates of that course Chris?Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam

Brings a few memories of dropping through the boom on that one Chris. Makes you wonder how it ever got off the ground because it was anything but gracefull. Mind having said that it was a steady old bus.Bob (geordie) WattsComment

Re: 1950's?
Would love to go to the hangers at Abingdon one more time, for a bit of nostalgia / remembrance.
Not sure if its still occupied by the RAOC though.Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam

Re: 1950's?
Well thats what I was thinking. Blokes who joined a year before me were lobbing them and then I got in and they were T Rex. You would have thought there would have been a few around. Maybe they got sent abroad and left there when the last of the Empire came crashing down. Maybe the Zimbabwe Paras are still lobbing from them.Originally posted by Dave Burgess View Post
