Hello

I came across your excellent website when looking for our old home address, 45 Shinfield Rd. 

My father S/Ldr Albert Draper was CO around 1947? 

I was delighted to see the Gremlin featured, I still have his copy. 

Father passed away 1980 so any memories from anybody who may have known him during his service would be welcomed. Photo attached.   See below.

Kind regards

If anyone has any information, please contact the Webmaster

Hi Andre
Thanks for the posting. I have attached a photo which may be of interest. There is no date,hopefully somebody may recognize a relative.
I am happy to help if more help is needed as the  writing on the back is not clear. My father is middle of the front row.

Kind regards
Phillip Draper  

Ted Williams remembers S/Ldr Draper and Phillip's email address has been sent to him.

Hello Andre

Note of thanks for putting me in touch with Ted, lovely man he shared his memories of my father, emotions ran high.

On a lighter note I enclose 2 menus from 1949, I hope this may be of interest to your readers. 

I have photos from Gunnery School Leconfield 1950/58, may be interesting to any Air Gunners.

Kind regards Phillip
