Dave Jackson
A - I’m an Armourer B - I’m an Armourer is an enjoyable romp through the life, and loves, of an RAF Armourer through to his retirement after 38 years in ‘Her Majesty’s Employ’, popularly called ‘The Royal Air Force’.
When off duty from his part in the defence of the realm and democracy, the author certainly found time to live up to the finest traditions of the armourers when it came to the pursuit of women and beer……
Born at Retford in Nottinghamshire in 1942, Dave Jackson was raised and educated there and at Worksop, before joining the RAF as an apprentice at RAF Halton. Having completed his education (A levels and ONC) at Halton, he spent a total of 38 years in the RAF at 19 bases, with 14 years spent ‘overseas’ if his three years in Northern Ireland is included. When he retired from the RAF, he occupied himself building and refurbishing ‘qty 3 properties’. Along the way he has been married three times and has, as he puts it, two/three sons, two official and one unofficial. He now lives in retirement with his third wife, to whom he has been married for 10 years, in Bawdeswell in Norfolk, where his hobbies include driving his sports car and his bubble car, reading and gardening. He also spends a few hours a week pulling silver birch out of Bawdeswell Heath and one day a week as a volunteer in the Sue Ryder charity shop.
