Dear Michael,
It was a real pleasure to attend the Prices lunch and to meet up with you and
other 'old lags'. I have scanned in two pictures which might be of interest for
the archives. Watton in Norfolk 1960 and Linton on ouse in Lincolnshire 1961.
My
memory for 43 years ago is somewhat hazy but i do remember that the RAF camps to
which Biscuits took us were fantastic fun. a mix of barely controlled anarchy
and fun. I cannot recall which camp it was but I remember taking part in an
after dark raid on the dormatory of the Charterhouse school which involved the
sliding of a full and malodourous dustbin at high speed down the centre aisle
between the beds of the slumbering toffs.
This was followed by a giggling
scamper back to the Price's dormatory, rapid lights out and under the covers.
About five minutes later an apoplectic regular NCO had the lights on and was
screaming at us that we were all up for 'jankers'--- whatever that was and were
to report on the parade ground at 7am. Ah happy days! I don't know if any other
old lags can help my memory by putting names to faces. In the Watton picture (?
means I cannot remeber who they are)
left to right back row first it goes Carpenter, ? Mclarty (went to medical school), Me, ?,?,??? ? Bennett, Roddis, Biscuits, Blake ? Mike Keith (joined the Foreign office) ??Bevis (nick named mouse)
In the Linton picture. Same naming scheme Mike Keith, Me ???????,Carpenter, ???, Latin master, Biscuits, ?, John Keith,???, Bevis ?? You can see how bad my memory is. Are there other pictures in the Prices archives? best wishes, Bob
