Classic British Flight Sim

Here is me (bass!), in 1982 fresh from leaving the RAF (hence halfway hair) in a rather silly charity band called the Flopsy Bunnies(recently reformed after 25 years) performing in Chichester!



Two of our groupies after getting in the showers!



The white stuff is shaving foam and we all were covered in it, after a flanning!

What naughty groupies! Got any more shots?

Nice one Trev Dunno why but I'd presumed you left later than '82.. maybe it's because I did

A few more moments from the past.....no naughty groupies though



First car



First bike, outside our house in Tooting Bec, 1978, with hair



The worst thing to jump out of ever invented

Lovely shots Tony The CB175 brought back a few memories.. never had one but it was 'there' when I had my Suzuki GT185N. Chopped that in in '78 for a brand new Suzi GS550D (I was cheap even then.. the D was the last wire-wheel version and I got a good discount for taking the last one off their hands.. the shop being full of the new 'E' version with alloys)

The balloon brings back memories too. I did a Joint Services Adventure Training Course at RAF Weston-on-the-Green (Parachuting) and we all thought we were going to do our first jumps out of their balloon. We were stunned when a little Cessna landed and the instructor said.. ok, first 3 off you go! It didn't look big enough to fly in let alone jump out of

Hi folks, there are two white faces in this shot, one of them is mine

From 1998 -2000 I 'did' VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) and worked as a vocational trainer employed by the Belize Department of Correction.

How often in a lifetime do you get the chance to go to prison in Central America

I worked with 'yoof' at a separate facility from the main prison...i.e., borstal.....
