| Further information supplied
by Dallas: I have nothing but good memories of my time with 49Sqn. Indeed, many years later on my return to Marham I helped demolish the tea bar that I had helped build in 1962 and found my name, along with others written in pencil under the work surface. I managed one trip in a Valiant and was horribly sick right on the final approach - the one and only time I was ever airsick in my following 39 years of service. |
