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.

Sharon,
I am so sad to hear this news.
On behalf of us all on the admin team,
we offer our prayers and thoughts to his family.
I trust you will convey this to his relatives.
I will as you request, sadly make his account inactive,
he was great contributor to this board
particularly in the war related threads.
His presence will be greatly missed
to all that know redcap
he will be missing for some time he has been told he has cancer and is going through all of the processes which go along with that, we are all hoping that it will work out fine will let you know more as we go along
cheers smokey
Sharon,
On behalf of the John Wayne Message Board, will you please convey
Redcap our best wishes and that he is very much in our thoughts.
