Bill Danby tells us (courtesy of his History of Skelton website) about Joe Reed who is the teacher in this photograph (he was headmaster when Stanghow Lane closed in 1961) – ”Joe Reed DFC, who flew with Bomber Command as a navigator in the Second World War and was one of the few who survived. He finished his service as a Squadron Leader and Navigator Instructor.” Image courtesy Jeff Templeman; many thanks to Bill Danby for that update and Dennis Preston for the update on names.

Okay I have posted other people on the site now I post myself and some of my family, as the title says in October 1962.
