Dad was part of Ilkley’s
part time fire service. The
fire engine had a limited
crew of eight local

the big engine haring

Dad clinging on the side."

“Alison and I met at the Barnes and Richmond Operatic Society in 1972 when I was still a student at Kew.

Three years later, in the summer of 1975 we were married at St Mary’s Church, Barnes.”
