Peter Samuel RIP George, mate. I joined up with George at RAF Cosford in 1964 where 301st were the first Craft Apprentice Photographers, following on from 51st Boy Entrants. George has been a good friend, one-time-room-mate, and a sporting golf buddy ever since. Hope there is great golf available wherever you are now buddy, we will all miss you.

Worked with George in Gutersloh,we were both on RIC MOB, and later at Binbrook. One night in J troop bar George bought me a car off of an Army guy. It was an old Rover 110. When I asked him why, he said, well you said you liked it. Damn car never did go. A great guy and good friend. RIP George.
