Hi from Hugh

[Hugh]

Hello All!

A quick intro about me. ... I served 22 years in the RAF as an Armourer (Eng Tech W) , finishing my last 6 years as full time on 5131 (BD) Sqn - The RAFs only full time Bomb Disposal Squadron.

I have a general interest in most historical and current RAF subjects, but my specialty is Ordnance and guns .. (of course Im an armourer - what did you expect!).

Retired from the RAF in 2002 and moved to sunny California where I have settled down in the desert. (I had a lifetime of working in the rain so choose a location near Death Valley!).

Thank you for setting up this web site, It is a great project!

Hugh (Taff) Jones.
