Never been to London, I spent most of my time between Bury St Edmonds and Nottingham (fell in love with Ely Cathedral). I flew in and out of Mildenhall with the USAF, and even had a few flights with RAF 8 Sdn on the Shackleton (they're now flying the AWACS). But had the stars smiled differently on me, I'd be retired in a 450 year old Dower house in Thirsk (haunted, of course), and spend my mornings walking the moors with an old dog. Maybe next life.Hello Max .I grew up in London but live in Birmingham now..you been there??
Funny you say that. I worked at lots of military bases including Abbywood in Bristol, Corsham near Bath (Great memories) , Bicester Garrison to name a few. London is a fabulous city. It gets a lot of unfair criticism for being a dangerous city. But there's lots of other places I england that you have to be at your wits end. It's the people that make a place. It's strange for me as lots of places have been gentrified. For example you can go to Old Kent Road now ,and buy a Kobe beef Sandwich where 15 years ago it would have been a knuckle sandwich.Never been to London, I spent most of my time between Bury St Edmonds and Nottingham (fell in love with Ely Cathedral).
