My virgin sepia saturday. . .


 Well, I am re-posting these photos of dad to participate in my first Sepia Saturday.
The theme for this week is 'Flight'

These are of dad in his RAF days when he was assigned to the Belgium 350 Squadron as an engine mechanic.

He was also stationed near the American Eagle Squadron at this time.

  6. How fortunate that you said ‘Yes’ to the DVD and gained even more insight on your Dad. I spotted ‘Something a Little Different’ in your popular posts roll.It may not be apparent to everyone and you should put a link to it within this Sepia Saturday post. Great stuff.

  13. He looks so young to be going to war. My father in law was in the RAF during WWII and I have a few photos of him quite like your father's.
