This is an addition to my site on our life in the Middle East. It covers the period my father served in Reykjavik Iceland during the 2nd World War. He serviced Hudsons and Sword Fish during this time. There are only a few photographs in this section one of which includes his 'Backers Up' Course in 1942 at Skegness.
