Mr. T. De-Silva’s Life in the Royal Air Force in Britain
Mr. De-Silva joined the Air Force at a young age of 18, he was a young apprentice for a year in a machine shop, before he joined the Air Force. At the time Mr. De-Silva was a single man when he volunteered to join the RAF in Britain
Mr. De-Silva was telling me that his Mother was anxious at his being away from home, but his Father was more favorable. A couple of days before he left he was a little bit sad, because he wasn’t going to see his family until his next vacation from the RAF.
Mr. De-Silva told me something important, he told me he wasn’t able to choose his unit. The Air Force would assign him to whatever group needed men.
Mr. De-Silva served 6 years in the Air Force. He gained a lot of experience and saw a lot of places across the world. At the end of his service, he was honourably discharged and received a medal for good service.
This was the story of Mr. De-Silva.
