Welcome to my web site.

Like so many of it’s type it’s been created to reflect my interests and hobbies and is totally self indulgent. It also establishes a web presence for the RAF Waddington Pipe Band.

I hope that your visit isn’t wasted and that you find something to interest you.

Where you find a link it’s to something particularly relevant. I’m not trying to provide a comprehensive directory.

If you share an interest and have ideas to exchange then please feel free to e-mail me.

Enjoy (hopefully).......

Based in the ancient City of Lincoln in England my roots are firmly in Scotland. My paternal forebears are from the Ruthven then Leysmill areas and more lately the City of Dundee in Angus, Scotland. My maternal side is from South Africa, my mother being from the famous Cronje family

My father was with the Royal Air Force all his working life and as a child (along with my two sisters) I was dragged round the world and it is only by the accident of getting to that leaving home age whilst my father was based in Lincolnshire that has seen me make my home here in Lincoln.
I’ve got too many interests to cover in detail here (probably a good thing). These range from music to cooking via collecting wine glasses and photography (black and white with chemicals, none of this digital malarkey)

My primary leisure activity is music. I enjoy listening to many kinds and styles of music from opera to folk it is however Piping, the Great Highland Bagpipe which is my major leisure and social activity. Piping has been in the family for many years, the picture alongside being of my Great Uncle Willie.

As a side line I’m trying to do a little research assistance on the Second World War Prisoner of War camps BAB 20 & BAB 40 which were work camps of Stalag XXA Thorn, (BAB is an abbreviation of Bau und Arbeitsbattalion) also BAB 21, BAB 48 and the Lamsdorf 8B work camps : E711, E711A, E3 and E714.
I would welcome hearing from anybody who was there or had a relative there
