Eric Copeland pictured on Christmas Island
The time I spent in the Air Force was in 1958, 1959 and 1960.
I went to RAF Bridgnorth to do my training and then I went to RAF Malton and its School of Cookery to do my training to be a chef.
When I passed, I went to RAF Headley Court to work in the cook house and then I went to RAF Christmas Island for 12 months.
Then I came home to England to the RAF Regiment Depot at Catterick, then was demobbed back into Civvy Street. This photo of me is on Christmas Island outside my living accommodation.
Eric Copeland, Rillington
