SERVICE WEDDING

The happy couple.


Brigg Blog makes no apologies for being off the air over the weekend, due to a wedding in the family. Our younger daughter, Victoria Fisher, came back to her home town from London to marry Chris Hunter Bennett, also serving with the RAF. They were married at Scunthorpe Register Office on Saturday. On Friday night, Chris was joined by fellow servicemen from the RAF Police for a traditional stag night, involving a few drinks. It started off in the Black Bull, Brigg, took in the White Hart and ended at the Britannia. The girls' "do" was at the Kar Restaurant, Brigg. Victoria is a former pupil of Sir John Nelthorpe School and Brigg Sixth Form College. In addition to getting married, she has just gained a promotion within the RAF.

    you have a very attractive daughter, Nige. She must get her looks from her mum.

    So she married a 'snowdrop'...hope I'm not put on a 252, a fizzer, followed by jankers

    During my early service days, a young erk, Blackie Blackford and myself were put on fatigues to paint the fire-buckets outside the NAAFI, prior to a big annual inspection by the Air Officer Commanding - commonly called the AOC's Inspection.

    Blackie was given white paint for the inside of the buckets; I was given a tin of red for the outsides - the task had to be complete within hours.

    The AOC's Inspection went very well - although his report made specific mention of the fetching pink buckets outside the NAAFI.

    Anyway, very nice photo, Nige - and good luck to them both.
