My father was also an RAF instrument tech. When he was demobbed he went back to work as an engineer but he started up a sideline in watch and clock repairs. He also kept hens in our small garden and sold the eggs. Every Christmas one was earmarked for slaughter and I watched with interest as he broke its neck over a broom handle. I used to help with the plucking and removal of the innards.
