I was born in Peterborough, at the Gables Nursing Home. M mother, Peggy Wright, was born May 1924 at Sawtry. Mum had originally lived at Deeping St James when she got married. My father, George, was born at Deeping St James in 1923. I was originally pushed into the river when I was about three : a fisherman, John Baker, fished me out. Mum worked at Woolworths in Peterborough. This was how she met my dad. She later finished up as a cleaner at the base operation room at Alconbury. She was one of the last people the airman would see before going off on a mission. She told me about this guy, called Dan Schuyler, who flew a RF43 Phantom. He just said to my mum "see you later Peg"
