100th Entry RAF Locking 1962-1964

admin · Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2009 9:51 am Post subject: Battle of Britain Flight

A few of the lads had a day out at the Battle of Britain Flight this week. John Rogerson, Pete Wallace, Baz Hayman and Alic Prior met up with Jack Hawkins who gave them the grand tour.

One of the highlights was seeing the old RAF Locking 'gate guardian' (above) which used to be on the plinth near the main gate when we were there. It has now been restored and is back flying.

I will leave it up to the guys in the photo to contact Dai if there are any problems with using the image on Servicepals.

Peter Wallace was travelling through the area yesterday en route to Scotland.

So met up for a nose bag along with Brian Cockayne and our wives.

Much lamp swinging as usual!!
