Hi John Cooper;
I have watched the Mutiny in the RAF documentry, and this is where i saw what i thought was a shot of my father, with this i wrote to Hendon, where they sent me a copy of the original film, but still not sure if this is my father.
Tried Tele Text a few yrs ago with out any succes, however on my journey and holding info people have sent in my files, i have been able to put others in touch with each other.
But still unable to help myself.

I was atationed at RAF Changi FECS squadron in 1950-51 as an Air Wireless Mechanic. We had a variety of aircraft then including :- Dakotas, Valettas, Harvards, an Avro York, the AOC's Auster and a Dove. In those days the BOAC comet used to land at Changi en route for Australia. I remember a Canberra on a record breaking run from the uk to Australia, it came in with a faulty radio and I was expected to fix it. I'd never seen a Canberra before and took some time opening hatches before I could find the radio, when I did it was new to me, however I tightened all the connectors up and much to my relief it worked.
