1957.
I have put the following photo at the top of this year, instead of down lower with the Nov 1957, when you read the next item you will see why, Les Haines.
Following was sent in by Vic taylor.
The attached photo has come into my possession. It was found,
together with other service & personal documents relating to John
Bassett, left in a house he formerly lived in, in Northampton now owned
by friends of mine. We cannot find his current address & I have
volunteered to try to contact him.
(This because I was ex RAF National Service though square bashed at Bridgenorth)
John Bassett was a National Service man from November 1955 to
November 1957. After West Kirby he served at RAF Innsworth & was acting
corporal on demob. So I am hoping the photo may help us reunite the
documents with him.
