Warrant Officer Paul ‘Spike’ Durham has been given a traditional send off by personnel at Royal Air Force Brize Norton.
______________________________________________________________
Station personnel greeted him outside Number 99 Squadron Headquarters, to wave him on his way and honour his dedicated service. He was driven off the Station in an old military Land Rover manufactured in 1983, one year before he was attested.
His route from the Squadron to the Station entrance was lined with family, colleagues and friends applauding as he went past. At the Station entrance he was greeted and marched off base by Group Captain Burdett, Commander Air Wing, where he was issued with his Bowler Hat and umbrella to signify his retirement from the Royal Air Force.
Completing 38 years of service, Warrant Officer Durham has been involved in every conflict since he joined the Service, which is an incredible achievement.
Good luck on your retirement Warrant Officer Durham, after 38 years service we think you deserve to put your feet up.
