Mr Merrick (67) was an apprentice at the Air Ministry Works department at RAF Feltwell from 1956 to 1960 and brought in this photograph of colleagues from that era, most of whom were stokers, fitters and electricians.

"A good lot of Feltwell people will remember a lot of these people," said Mr Merrick, who lives at Globe Street, Methwold.

"I thought people would be interested in it and that there would be quite a lot of interest in the local area."

Mr Merrick can be seen in the front row, third from the left, and recognises many others. He hopes readers will too.

Pictured are, back row, from left, Ernie Chambers, Ernie Smith, Alf Burlingham, Godfrey Fox, Toby Butcher, Dave Vince, Wilf Porter, Len Turner and Alf Young.

Middle row, Ken Whistler, Harry Hunter, Jock Wilson and Fred Brown. Next to Mr Brown is a gentleman whose surname was Johnson, and, next to Mr Johnson, a man known only as Twink.

Front row, Harry Allsop, Alf Cooper, Bryan Merrick, Arthur Coleman, Jack Jacobs,
