When in Police changed my name to that which I was born with, from Vernon "Barney" Wragg. Name had been changed on adoption by my Mother's sister when my parents died. Took a degree in Finance & Business Studies whilst in the RAF. Now supplement the pension by doing "jobbing" accountancy & running a Medal business, Medal Mounting & supplying miniature medals & Mess Dress accoutrements. I am also the Drum Major of The City of Bristol Pipes & Drums & need a new bass drummer if there's anyone out there.

I was in Air Radar and also Senior Trumpet Major in the ace band. Went on to Gaydon and Valley - left service after 10 years - went into Computer Industry (Digital). Computer Engineer - Engineering Manager - Salesman - Sales Manager. Made redundant 1992 but had set up an Employment Agency which brings me in a bit still. I only show up for work now and again - play plenty of bad golf. Have had a great time except the excesses that started in Cosford continued throughout my life and are now beginning to catch up with me. Have to count my units now.
