Back
to Ruthin after 3 days in London; at the Company of Engineers’ Dinner on
Tuesday night in Merchant Taylors’ Hall.
The Engineers have a great many contacts with the armed forces and some
24 awards were made during the dinner. Most impressed by what ‘goes on’ that
the general public hear very little about.
We finished at well past 11 0’clock.
Wednesday was spent on a most interesting visit to RAF Northolt along
with representatives from 3 other Livery companies. Northolt is a very important centre for the
operation of some many varied services carried out by the RAF. After lunch we visited the Battle of Britain
Bunker at Uxbridge which is set up as it was on a September day in 1940. As a company we will be made very welcome to
Northolt and Uxbridge on another occasion.
Thursday night saw me attending the Paviours Court Dinner at
Charterhouse. Charterhouse itself is an
amazing building being one of only 3 in the city which would have been
recognizable in Elizabethan times. Faces
and names are becoming familiar at a fast rate.
