My father (Ex Dunkirk Veteran) worked at the USAF base in
the late 1950's and drove one of the Observation Coaches. I have
attached one of 3 photographs of my dad during that time. The person in
the middle is my dad (Douglas Leonard Holman) known around the base as
"Pop" or Len. My father died in 1965 so memories / stories start to
fade, but I do remember my dad bringing the coach home one day and I
went inside (that's about it.. well I could have only been 4 - 5 years
old at the time. I have found a couple of
letters of commendation for my dad and safe driver awards for two years.
