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.

Here is the link to the first post. . .

    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.

    Thanks. He was alive when we did the research, but had had his stroke by the time we found the other picture.

    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.

    He would have been about 19 when he went in. Almost 20,

    He was a good man, and did not come away from the war with a chip on his shoulder.
