From Roger Creasey
When I started at Transair Croydon airport 1955, John had been there a while before me and we both worked in the engine bay stripping and rebuilding Pratt and Whitney engines for the fleet of DC3 aircraft we operated as" boys" both John and myself had to take it in turns to organise and fetch from the canteen approximately 25 engineers tea break requests (cheese rolls, butter rolls, tea or coffee) for both morning and afternoon breaks, also we had to sweep up the engine shop 3 times a day and before we could go home we had to clean all the work benches and make sure the tommy bars on the vices where left vertical. We had to spend a minimum of 6 months in the workshop before we where allowed to go into the hangar and work on the aircraft. John was a good friend and very good engineer, another person to be sadly missed.
