My name is Ralph I was a "mopper" from November 1948 to November 1951, when I enlisted in the R.A.F for two years! I was based at Spring Street B.O and Paddington D.O during that time. One of my duties was the station run every 10 minutes to collect telegrams from the Station B.O back to Spring Street for them to be sent on there way! Names that spring to mind are John Burton, Roy Paradise, Peter Mack, Bert Dowsall and Mr Ford. Hope someone reads this and remembers me!! I am now 74....

Hi. Ralph, my name is Ted Hedges, you don't know me but seeing your message brought back memories of my Messenger days at Lanark Road B.O. W9,it was a little before your time -1947- but there was always some angst with the Spring Street boys and every so often we would invade in numbers and let down tyres of any bikes left out. regards Ted--

My reply: Sorry for delay in my reply. It was very nice to hear from somebody, even if I don't know you!!! All the best. Ralph.
