ColR1948 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Thanks Larry & David. I say "Jolly good old boy." My dad was in the RAF during WW2, he didn't fly he was in radio communications or something like that, he never talked much about it. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
