Thank you SO much for replying.
I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather died.My Dad was an old school friend in Southampton and he was wondering what became of Gordon.
We had managed to trace another school friend Peter Weston to Canada as Peter had put his WW2 history on a website but sadly he lost him earlier this year.
My father at 80 has fond memories about their school days.He unfortunately was not able to take up an apprentership with Vickers-marine with your grandfather and Peter- although he loved the spitfire.He worked in Southampton until his family home was bombed and he went to live at his great uncle's farm in Dorset.He met a London evacuee there and, although his brothers returned to Southampton, he made his home in South London when they married.
Coincidentally we have also traced my mother’s friend, and bridesmaid, to Canada. My email address is
