I'm here...... MCS bay Leuchars May 82 - May 90. Oh I have a son
Hi Ken,
It seems we were both at the MCS bay at Leuchars at the same time but I can't remember you (mostly people say that about me ).
I arrived in December 1981 straight from the MCS course at Conningsby and stayed until about Feb 1983 or 4 (I think it was 4 though) so our paths should have crossed.
I was a Corporal then and was on the same shift as Kate Shinie (later married to John (last name eludes me).
It would be nice to hear from you anyway, us old Phantomeers have to stick together .....
Only the most mad could work on MCS (including myself of course!)
Here is a starter for ten: Is there anyone (male) out there that had any MALE offspring after working on MCS? (I had two girls!) Answers below please....
Coningsby and Leuchars MCS Bays for full tours and a short time at Wattisham bay as well. To be honest don't think I ever did a full 5A2 FIM test. Come on lets here from someone who did!!!!
Hi,
I knew your Dad very well. We were on the same fitters course(FAR 21) at Cosford in 1971/72. We met again later when we worked on Phantoms at Bruggen, Wildenrath and Coningsby.
He was a lovely man and we had some great times, mostly taking the **** out of other people.
He always had a smile on his face. One of life's gentlemen.
Sorry to hear about your Dad, worked with him at Wildenrath. As I recall he had rental property in the Blackpool area which he kitted out with ex RAF furniture.
