VicW Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I spent 43 years repairing aircraft. 28 years in the RAF and another 15 as a civilian working for the military.I enjoyed most of it although I was apart from my family a lot of the time I was in the mob.I managed to achieve marksman standard with rifle, pistol and sub machine gun. I held a SGC for 30 years shooting both game and clays until a shoulder problem forced me to give it up. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
