Airmen Meet Up In May 2012

By Dave Bowman

Recently Don Segal and I met up with Chris Nineham at the King and Queen pub in East Malling, Kent, for a chat and bite to eat. Chris was here visiting family in the London area. For those who have never seen Don get his wallet out, the proof is in the photo. And I think my face needs a bit of African sunshine, although I must say I have far more hair than the 'youngsters'.

Dave was 100 Halton Entry, Chris and Don were 26 LAR (all engines)

Thanks to Dave for sharing his photograph and memories with ORAFs.
