PLANES AIMS AND HAPPINESS

As a schoolboy the only thing Len Woodgate wanted to do was to join the RAF. He achieved this at the tender age of 16 by becoming a member of the 49th Entry of the RAF Halton Apprenticeship scheme. Then followed a full career in the RAF where he later gained a commission. As well as the UK he was posted on several overseas tours. He finished his service by taking charge of the Aerospace Museum at Cosford and prepared it to be taken over as part of the Royal Air Force Museum. Now aged 87 Len Woodgate is a remarkable man who has lived an equally remarkable life. His mind is still as sharp as a razor and his memory is still crystal clear. Numerous of Len's exploits and achievements are related within his book.
