  1. That must have been amazing Stan. When I was in the air cadets at RAF Newton (1936 Squadron) one of our annual summer camps was out at RAF Waddington with a Vulcan squadron and the size of each aircraft was difficult to comprehend. This past weekend I was up at the former RAF Church Fenton base for the Yorkshire Airshow and the final flypast of the day was the Vulcan. After all the other aircraft we saw on Saturday the Vulcan was magnificent.
  2. I grew up in Burton Joyce and had a newspaper round. I loved the weekend mornings in the summer when I would be cycling around the village delivering my batch of heavy newspapers and would often hear the pre flyover throb of the Lancaster Merlin engines. It was a joy to look up and see the 'City of Lincoln' Lancaster flying down the Trent a Valley on its way out to the daily round of weekend air shows.
  3. I miss Mr Morrow so much. He was such a role model for me and for years I looked for his book in second hand shops. An edit of a Henry V text. He was such an influence in becoming a writer. I would willingly travel to visit him at the drop of a hat. So glad to know he is still 'active and alert'.
  4. Hi SammySouth. I was at CLW from 1974 to 1981. Mr Edwards was the Headmaster when we arrived and Tom Dowman when I finished at Sixth Form. Lots of great memories. Nick
  5. So great to read about Mr Morrow as he was my English teacher at Carlton Le Willows from 1975 to 1979. I loved listening to him recounting his wartime experiences and have long wondered about him since a I left school in 1981. Thank you so much for these insights into him.
