AC. Horace Parker
Royal Air Force 97 Squadron
from:Bretby, Derbyshire
Horace Parker served at RAF Coningsby with 97 Squadron. He always liked to recall King George VI's visit to Coningsby and his inspection of the squadron. Noticing that one airman's top tunic button had become undone, the King wanted to impose a 7 day sanction on the Airman but struggled to get the words out properly, struggling with the seven, solving this by eventually doubling it to 14 days.
