Centenarian Ken Simpson, of Heckington, and a picture of him during his time serving in Egypt.
Ken Simpson, of Heckington, was born May 8, 1921, making last Saturday his 100th birthday.
Ken joined the RAF at Cardington, Bedfordshire, in 1941, and was told armourers were required. He was posted to Skegness for his basic training, which lasted about six weeks, and then moved on to armourer training.
He was then sent to No. 85 Squadron, where he stayed for two weeks until the call came for volunteers for overseas service, after which he was posted to No. 80 Squadron in Egypt (which involved a six-week passage to the Suez Canal from Liverpool).
