Ken Cockram was a fighter/bomber pilot in the famous 112 'Shark' Squadron RAF during WWII. After signing-up in 1941 he was posted to Rhodesia for his pilot training and he went on to see action in Sicily, Italy (at Monte Cassino) & Yugoslavia followed by air co-operation duties with No 20 AACU Unit in Egypt and the Middle East. On his return to Britain, before being demobbed, he was indirectly involved with the testing and development of what was then the still secret RADAR technology. These are his words recalling his childhood and the years leading up to the end of the 2nd World War.
