It's 39 years since I first set foot at RAF Halton and 32 years since I was last there. In 1990 we used the same parade ground to practice for the 50th anniversary parade of the Battle of Britain parade that we did in London in front of Buckingham palace. I hope your son is still loving the RAF. It is amazing what opportunities come along both in service and afterwards.
