The next edition of The Haltonian magazine will be published in
November 2010. The official copy date is 31 October. However,
articles have been coming in quite quickly, and already I have
filled most of the pages in the magazine, so please submit any
articles to me for consideration earlier rather than later.

Articles should be sent, preferably by email to
haltonian@stuartmorgan.eu Please send your articles as
attachments to your email, if you can. This is because I travel
widely and I can pick up emails almost anywhere.

Articles should be written in Arial 11pt, wherever possible, and
files should be saved as MS-Word or rtf files. Sending them as
pdf files may cause me some problem to retrieve the text (all
depending on the version of Acrobat Reader that you use - I use
version 9.3.4).

For those who do not have email facilities, articles in clear
handwriting can be sent to my home address at 144, SA4 6QX -
that is sufficient detail for the Post Office to deliver the letter to
my home

It is not necessary for me to enter into a private debate
with you, Chris - whatever I have to say can be said in open
forum. You seem to have been personally offended by my 18
March post and I therefore apologise to you and to any other
members of the public who felt similarly affronted. Perhaps
all future contributions should first be vetted by a
committee set up to moderate in matters of political
correctness. That said, I offer the following for your
consideration:- "If we think to regulate printing, thereby
to rectify manners, we must regulate all recreations and
pastimes, all that is delightful to man...and who shall
silence all the airs and madrigals, that whisper softness in
chambers?" (John Milton). "What is freedom of expression?
Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist" (Salman
Rushdie). And finally, "Good taste and humour...are a
contradiction in terms, like a chaste whore". (Malcolm
Muggeridge). There now, apologies submitted and ruffled
feathers hopefully smoothed. Back to the ratrace.

Just noticed Richard Morris' comment (18 March). I am
always willing to "stand up and be counted". If he wishes
to enter into a debate on the subject then he can find my
address as webmaster of the 87th website. This is not the
place for such discussion.

It was a question of "good taste", whether the comments were humorous or not did not enter into it. Try making such
comments in public about certain groups and then claim
"humour". This site is frequently read by the public and as
such needs to adhere to the same standards as "Ning" which
rightly states that such comments are not allowed. In fact
Clive did discuss this same core subject on Ning but without
the inclusion of such unsuitable comments, as they would
have been deleted, and possible were. I note that all his
comments on the subject have since been deleted from this
site so either he has seen sense or had the error of his
ways pointed out to him by a responsible person within
RAFHAAA.

I am the owner of a group of three medals (WW2 Defence Medal, War medal and a RAF LSGC Medal named to 560623 W/O A. L. Hall R.A.F.). Along with these medal came five sports medals.One of them is a very fine polished bronze golfing medal. One side of this golf medal has the wording Royal Air Force around the edge on the top of the medal and the word Halton around the bottom edge and is named to A/A Hall 1928/1929. I am assuming that the A/A means Aircraft Apprentice but would love to know if possible when he entered Halton as clearly he wold be a 'Trenchard Brat' and when he passed out as well as which intake number he would have been. He went on to serve in India at RAF Drigh Road, Karachi pre-WW2 and in WW2 although as he has no campaign medals I can only assume that he never saw service overseas and spent his whole war serving in the UK. Any information would be gratefully received and appreciated. Thank you.

Urgent message for all 96th. This is the last call for orders to be placed for your copy of The Book - the collection of memories that has been put together as part of the 50th Anniversary Reunion. If you have not already booked your copy and wish to own this superb example of English literary brilliance, please contact me as soon as possible as I cannot guarantee that any will be left come September.

O.K., you 'orrible longhaired louts! Stand up straight! Look to your front, thumbs in line with the seams of your trousers! Now then, 'fess up, which of you Old Haltonians did not recognise the humour in the RAF Cottesmore Closure Notice of January 2010? What trade were you for gawds sake? Mortician, perhaps?
