Cliff Spink always comes across as being a very nice guy – similar background to me in that he started his RAF career as a Halton Apprentice – but somebody obviously saw his potential as a youngster and off he went to Cranwell at the end of App training.
Incidentally – here is another Cliff Spink interview from 4 years ago filmed at Duxford where he mentions another very nice chap (Al Deere) – who was Commandant at Halton during Cliffs time there.
A lovely video mostly shot outside at Dux (starts off in crewroom) – a lovely waste of 48 mins 🙂
