Title

Geoffrey Beckett

Description

Head and shoulders portrait of an airman wearing tunic and side cap. Captioned 'Geoff was generous, but careful with his money and always ensured that he saved regular amounts, the very surprising extent of which came to light a number of years later, particularly when comparisons are made with monetary values at today's prices. Following his Christmas leave, Geoff was posted to No 1 Signals School at Royal air Force Cranwell, Lincolnshire, to begin his training as a wireless operator (ground)'.
