OK, I'm guilty.  :)  My excuse is that my appointment at Specsavers is very overdue!

Yes, everything does say T for the middle initial.

Good to see that people (you know who you are  :-* ) are awake.  ;D

ooh fascinating stuff about Wyberton West Rd! My Dad was Sergeant Flynn; yes we lived at 54. I did call in to see Gerald at 56 a few years ago- he always was a great photographer and used colour slide film in the 50s so I was hoping he would show me some of those old photos! I have a few b&w photos that I took around 1963 -1966, including the old concrete footbridge. I can post a few here when I get my scanner to work again!

Like to see the one of footbridge Nick. I remember your Dad coming into the Indian Queen on patrol late one Saturday night. Our group, all from Wyberton  West Road were there, all four of us well under 18. We all knew your Dad knew how old we were, but luckily for us we were ignored. Scary though c1956-7.
