Last
month, John and Deric Brock came to talk to us about their work at the Carew
Cheriton Control Tower and we were invited to pay them a visit. This proved popular as, last Saturday, twenty
five of us turned up to be given a warm welcome by John and fellow
volunteers. First, we were given a talk
by John Harries which sparked off many memories by those present and then we were
shown some of the many displays and exhibits on show.
After
coffee and cake, we were shown around the site and given an entertaining talk
by John Brock which involved dressing up in wartime uniforms. In the photograph: Bill Thomas (Home Guard),
Liz Jenkins (Civil Defence), Don Hood (Airman) and Nikki Hancock (Women’s Land
Army) with John Harries, John Brock and Les Dixon. The visit was thoroughly enjoyed by all and
we finished with a sing song in the air raid shelter concluding with “We’ll
meet again” – I’m sure we will!
