RAF during the Second World War in 1940
written by Christine Arrowsmith
 This is a photo of my father Robert Bowman Arrowsmith. I have a couple of photos showing him with friends while stationed in South Africa during the war. I do not have any details, only brief memories that my Mother has given me. He was under the impression that he was bound for the far east, instead he had a war servicing planes brought down from the North Africa region, living off the fat of the land and returning in November 1944.
He bought a diamond from Kimberly, had a ring made with the help of a collegue who was a jeweller in civi-street, and sent it to my mother in the mail! When he returned he brought all the goodies needed to bake a fruit cake for the wedding and they married on Valentine's Day 1945. He died in 1974 and I would be interested if anyone remembers him and can give me some info! If interested I will load the other photo's. |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
