A Letter Home
Peter Large served with 208 Squadron in the early 1950s. Some time ago, he was clearing out his mother’s house after she died and came across a letter that he had written home in June 1954. It presents very well the way things were in the RAF of the Middle East in those days, and can be read by clicking the picture on the left. It was published with Peter’s agreement in the 2007 Newsletter.
