Today's walk and edit....Glossop.

When I completed my Royal Air Force apprenticeship in 1972, 93rd entry, I passed through Glossop in my Austin 10, reg DAA 281, on my way to my first posting at RAF Middleton St Gearge, county Durham, 33 squadron Javelin 9 fighter quadron. Today I thought I would take a look at Glossop, unfortunately very dull with a cold shower. Remember, the only guenuine apps in this world are ex RAF apps!
