We used to go to R.A.F. Eastleigh Airport and go up in Pembrokes, Twin Pioneers and Blackburn Beverlies.
Also enjoyed swimming, and golf at the Vetlabs Golf Course where I was taken in the old school Bedford Van to play golf at the Vetlabs Golf
Course at Kabete. I had my own membership and so was able to go and have a beer or two in the Club House before returning to school. We also had golf lessons from a Pro from Muthaiga Golf Course. I think his name was Kinneard. We used to go to Muthaiga Club for these lessons. It was a nice way to get off the school grounds. Other memories - the House Dance each year with girls from the Boma.
After school I went to Aberdeen University and graduated with MA in 1966. RAFVR and RAF for a short while. Then Lever Brothers in England.
