Default Hello from an oldie.

Hi.
Had quite a selection of badges through the war and then other things beckoned. Served in the Royal Artillery and The Royal Air Force. Worked on Lincolns and Canberras and did a stint in Malaya. Just turned 81 and still do a bit at the local Aviation Museum. How would I get started again. all information greatfuilly received.

Hi Ken,
I agree with Jerry. Best to pick a theme and focus on what you want to get out of it. Plenty of people here to help you achieve your goals.

Welcome to the forum!
Regards,
Matt

A very big welcome Ken, it does my heart good to know there is somebody on the forum who is nearly three years older than me, although if memory serves me right our oldest resident is 83.

Kind regards,

johnG

Welcome Ken, after you pick your theme be very very careful as there are an awful lot of fakes out there but you will find the members here most helpful.RMR

Hi Ken,

A heartfelt welcome. Sound like you have a good few years of collecting ahead of you yet..! Great chap's here, I'm sure you will have a grand time.

All the best, Roy.
