You know we having been talking about Leon AKA Mike Russell - well for those of you that have worked out how to open the comments here he is in person.
Barry Wilkinson and Colin McQuiston (AKA Billy Mac) were with me at RAF Innsworth in
P Man 6a. Both respectable and upstanding SNCO's or is my memory playing tricks again! This would have been 86 -88 time. I must admit I thought Spike was discovered in Aussie, most people seem to end up there somehow!
Now over to Leon. Wasn't sure what colour to give to Leon. Podga was easy with the blue. Then I thought of Orange speakers - there were such a thing weren't there? Suitable for a sound man?
"Good Moaning........This is Leon aka Mike Russell here......... Very interesting reading from the dark haired moustachioed suffolk one, (it is very dark, the hair that is). Well news of other folk too..... Had a long letter, (e-mail attachment), from Derek Bottomley me ole mucka from TSF days at Upwood. Now married wiv 2 kids and living in Canberra oz. Been working in immigration for donkey's years after finishing his stint in the RAF and by all accounts really loves the lifestyle in oz and will probably remain there. Would love to find out where " Spike " is...... Both Pdga and I did try and make contact once but we were met with a wall of silence and denials........ all very strange !!! Mcquiston and Wilkinson have not shown up either on the friends re-united site yet but maybe one day.Better sign off now as have to go to work. Hope your all well and will check this blog out as much as poss. TTFN and up up and hold. Cheerio."

Up Up and Hold....
This is my 3rd attempt at leaving a comment since Tuesday (now Friday pm). It used to be easy - this is no. 13 of 137 - all of a sudden I can't get in.
Good to see Leon is in on this. Sweated over a major piece for you both on Tue but it just hasn't appeared so I'm not going to repeat it unless I get in.
Yours frustratingly, oh and Blue Skies!
