CHAPTER ONE Joy was her name and she certainly lived up to it that evening, being quite unconfined. When she finally made her way home to Married Quarters, she left, much to our delight, an exciting imprint of her bare bottom on the red plastic bar stool seat. Married to an older Flying Officer, she seemed rather to enjoy the company of us young National Service officers. As in all the recently built radar stations, the bar in the Officers' Mess of R.A.F. Seaton Snook, where I was to spend the last year of my service, had a pre- fabricated air to it. Two fluorescent tubes, only partially hidden by a hardboard frieze, cast a hard, bright glare that did little to add to the atmosphere. The few bottles that stood on the glass shelves behind the steward's back were reflected in the mirror that covered that entire wall, as were our own youthful, red-cheeked, grinning faces. Leaving the smoky bar and pretty much the worse for wear on Merrydown cider – the cheapest way to get spifflicated – we finally staggered off to our separate, sparsely furnished, rooms. I lost my balance several times as I undressed and when I finally pulled on my striped Wincyette pyjamas and clambered onto the thin mattress and slipped between the cold sheets, the way the bed looped the loop, as I tried to keep my eyes focussed on the ceiling, reminded me of my very short flying career in the Royal Air Force.

Arthur joined the Tigers in June 1940 and was with them until late 1941, serving as an LAC in the armament section. After 74 he joined Training Command at Harwell then Bomber Command at RAF Snaith. Following this he was at Leuchars, Turnberry and in 1943 at Limavady in Northern Ireland. As D Day approached Arthur was posted to Manston (where he had served with 74) but was then sent to India before being demobbed in 1946. He reinlisted in 1961 as an Aerospace Systems Operator serving at Trimingham, Hendon, Kenley, Stanmore Park, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Malta and West Drayton before leaving the RAF for a second time in 1976 with the rank of Sergeant. Of his time with 74 Arthur writes: "I joined 74 Squadron at RAF Hornchurch in early June 1940 when it had been busy with intruders over London and on escort duties over the Channel and that had been good training for what was about to happen. There had been plenty of activity and it was gradually increasing until the squadron was in the thick of it. We did not know it then but this was the start of the Battle of Britain.
