222907 L/Stkr. Douglas Gerald Blackburn Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm from:Sleaofrd, Lincs I have just received my father Jed Blackburn's service record - he joined at HMS Royal Arthur in Skegness in October 1945 at the age of 17 and went on to serve on various ships and in the Fleet Air Arm. Like many men he was reluctant to talk about the war and his service life so details are sketchy but he remained a tar to the end of his days and died wearing a naval t-shirt. His service record ends in January 1948 - he died in his mid 80s and was fit as a flea up the end - I am entering his details purely to add his name to Royal Arthur's list so that his spirit can rest peaceful with his Navy friends where I believe he'd want to be - RIP - goodbye xx
