Hi Dougie, Nice to see a photo of your uncle Tom, I hear'd a lot about him but of coarse i was too young to know him,

You should see the album that was put together of all the photo's he sent back home of his short stay in South Africa to his Mother and Girlfriend,I tried uploading some on the R.A.F. photo link that was already on but Brian mustn't wont then on, I'll try just one more of them firing the volley as they put Him to rest, so far away from home never to return to his mother

Dougie, Looking at the photo of Tom & Joan, Joan looks very much like your uncle Jacks wife who was also Joan,

What a handsome couple. I think everyone knows on here how Peter and I love to dress in the forties fashions and attend forties events, but you have to admit how smart and feminine the lady looks compared to some of the sights you see today. You certainly wouldn't get her queueing up in the Post Office in pyjamas, which was a sight I saw the other day!
