I have been asked by a few people how my job is going and how I am fitting in at TISMT Boscombe Down. I will express my feelings through the faces of others...
I only worked 2 days as well!

keeping up with the Joneses
At the boatyard for another day of Hayley veering across the river!! and me losing my temper...
Just look at their car..yep a freelander...Andy
has done very well considering his criminal past...
Do you know he once stole a street sign that said "The squires"...who says crime doesn`t pay!
Andy & Hayley & Ellie
This is Andy in his Norman 23ft .
You can just see Hayley and Ellie poking out of the forward hatch. They had to pedal so hard to make that boat go....
Over Shropshire
Me & Mrs Jones
A romantic flight over shropshire in summer 2004 in my trusty Pegasus XL 447.
Jo & David (Joseph pushed into Davids rucksack!)
Jo and David,We went to the same anti-natal group in 2000 (and Sonia & Mark) and whilst in Norfolk had a great time with these pair.We dont see you enough but will try and catch up soon-: )
Sonia Potter with a monk on!
Sonia being rude..she can be a handfull at certain times of the month.I only asked if she wanted another cup of tea?
Andrew Squires. Met Andy for the first time in 1987 whilst I was a YTS trainee for ACE Electrics in Stafford. His dad was the boss so I pretended to be his friend for a few years whilst doing my apprenticeship! His dad Colin gave me £55 a week but I was brilliant, so demanded more money....it didn`t come..so when I finished my apprenticeship I joined the RAF...where I am appreciated for my skills..yeah right!!
Unfortunately I am still pretending to be his friend and see lots of him! Andy is a Partner in Squires Electrics who continue to do very well in the midlands and he has his own cruiser and an en-suite bathroom.
Andy married Hayley a couple of years back and they have Jack and Ellie 15 & 4 who now look after their parents full time. I have some good photos of you Andy..just got to scan them..beware!
ohhh in 5 yrs gis a job!
Mini SKip
There is a funny story behind this pic..well I think so. We had just moved into our house in Little Haywood. I had a fair bit of work to do..kitchen ripped out..bathroom..lots of stuff. So I needed a skip and phoned up.
"Do u need a mini-midi or large?" being a tight Midlander I decided that a mini would do the trick!!! I moved our cars off the drive and it arrived....
could of got more in my car! Hel took this pic while p*****g herself laughing.
Here is Mal & Liz!!
Mal Reid, the best way to explain Mal is by a story!
Once whilst on the 41st Fighting Sqn we went drinking in Norwich for lunch.There was a fair size group of us and by 9pm Mal had slid down the bar onto the floor!! We called a taxi and Mal went home.....
When Mal got in- he realised it was only 9:30pm and was apalled at himself!! He called a taxi and returned to the pub and stayed out til 2...enough said.
Mal is now working at Marham-again and still gets into trouble. Liz is lovely but something must be missing to put up with the Reid. : )
Mark Potter
This is Mark, He is married to Sonia (poor bloke) This is us working our way through the Staffs & worcester canal network in our boat....Hard work it was!
I was best man to Mark.I don`t know why, as he ordered the suits and ordered myself only what could be described as clown trousers!! the waist was about 58 inches- says he must have got mixed up with the sizes!!! cheeky fella...
Another old soldier
Damo Bentley!!! My good friend Bamo-here pictured sporting a blonde wig! this would have been taken prior to going out down the cock (drayton Norwich) Also Reg Hollis for those of you who know him wasalways down there.... great days
Microlighting
Pat Cole - who would trust a bombhead with an aero engine!! Pat is now out the Raf-(redundancy) but will not be forgotten!!!
