Dav's dad is an ex RAF armourer Trekkie, putting bombs on the mighty Phantoms. If it's possible for a human to have 9 lives, it's him. He was almost schlepped good and proper by the propellors on a Shackleton. It was coming straight towards him and he was sat on the bomb trolley, back to it with ear defenders on. He had a lucky escape cos he happened to pass inbetween the 2 propellors.

He had loads of lucky escapes, he got shot at and the bullets went in one side of the jeep he was in and shot out the other.... he's walked away from loads of stuff.

You might know him if you're on E-goat (forum for service lads & lasses past & present).

Ladyram this sounds like the RAF version of Albert Trotter!!

Definite candidate for a posthumous VC I woulda thought! 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Well, he's not gone yet bless him. Just as well, cos he has me in hysterics when he tells me about his RAF days.. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I'm not too bad with the letters, but for the vast majority of the time, hopeless with the numbers. Think I've only got the target once.

Right lat's start a campaign for the luckiest living former aircraftman.

And get him to write a book about his exploits.... It should be a blast at the bookshop!

I'll buy it when it gets to Amazon.
