Curtis, George Bill, I was also at RAF Gaydon in 1960/61.
Worked in ESG and also was used to seeing George around on his bike. One name I remember from ESG IS SGT DAVE POND. It was my first posting.

Curtis, George I knew George at RAF Gaydon during his National Service stint. 1960/1962. He would be seen on an old bicycle delivering Male to different departments on the base. I worked in the clothing store
where he would pop in for a cuppa on his rounds. He was known as the Swo,s runner. A really fantastic guy.
