cheers smokeyHi Smokey, please send him my best wishes, also that I recently relocated back to Corpus Christi, and that I FINALLY came across that original Desert Rats Photo I have that I told him about and that I was going to use to have something made for him. That something I THINK I can have ordered in late October when the new super wally-world opens.
Anyway, please send him my best regards.
Take care--Carl.

Hi All,
Just to let you know that again being in the Air Training Corps (46F) squadron we visited many RAF Stations. We had the pleasure of meeting Douglas Bader and Bob Stanford-Tuck at North Weald when we were flying with 601 (City of London) Squadron which was a reserve unit that at the time was flying Meteors. Bader was reasonably approachable but Tuck was very stand offish. We were given some very useful tips by Bader and was at times very arrogant but also very forceful. Nice to revive some pleasant memories.

Truely sad news. Rest in peace, Redcap.

cheers smokeyHi Sharon, sorry for that. I got used to both names the few times we sent email to each other. My memory is also slipping thanks to my Neurological problem and is hard to remember things.
Hope the services go smoothly and again, sorry for his loss. From the emails I had from him, one can easily see he was a true Gentleman and one I would have liked to shake hands with.
-
You have my condolences.

Smokey, Your in our prayers here, along with your family! Sorry for your loss.
