National Service

A Memory of Medmenham.

I know I was doing my bit for my country at the time, but Medmenham will always be in my memory because of the great friends I made at the RAF station. It was also a beautiful part of the country to be doing my service. I got to meet some of the locals who worked on site at the time and found them very friendly towards this Bermondsey, London lad. At weekends when I was off duty some of the lads I was doing service with and myself would go for walks down the country lanes and really enjoy the countryside and call in at the local pubs and enjoy the local brews. I wonder if you can imagine what that was like for a Londoner. One thing is for sure this lad at 69 years of age will never forget Medmenham.
