School photo - probably around 1963, for some reason I got the nickname of wingnut, I don't know why

Roll on to 1971, and my first motorbike, a BSA C15 ............................ happily, the ears settled back inboard, and today I still have hair, but I would never get into those jeans.

Mena and I remember that trip well Martin and loved being with Jen, yourself and others. It has to be said, it was a great 'Meet'. AS others are posting younger pictures of themselves here is I when I was serving in Berlin with the British Army main battle tank unit of 12 Centurians. It was a fantastic posting and next door was a prison that held one prioner, guraded by armed guards from France, UK, Russia & U.S.A. who rotated every week with tower searchlights. electrified fences,multiple warning signs, night lights and a kill box. None other than Rudolf Hess who had the whole prison to himself. (That's anouther story)
