Peter Raby sent the following info. about an ex 74th apprentice Ralph Bloom.

"I last saw Ralph Bloom between the years 1963 - 1967 when he had been, I think, invalided out of the service due to having a broken neck. He was working in the Atlanta Service Station near RAF Benson. His father was on The Queens Flight so he presumably was living with his parents.
