Denaby Airman to celebrate “21st” in Hong Kong
Although leading aircraft man Peter Cunningham, eldest son of Mr and Mrs W Cunningham of 34, further X3, Denaby Main, will not be able to come home for his 21st birthday party, on March 12 he will celebrate just the same by having a small celebration in his billet in Hong Kong.
Peter, we station with the P.N.F.F.Wing of the R.A.F.at little Saiwan, on Kong, is a “regular” before he went to Hong Kong – nearly a year ago – he was stationed at Birmingham for 12 months. He “signed on” for five years.
Before rejoining the R.A.F., Peter was a haulage hand at Denaby Main where he went after leaving Conisbrough Modern School. He is now a radar and radio engineer and “is very happy in his work,” his mother told us on Monday.
Mrs Cunningham was very delighted when she received a tea service, among other presents from her son at Christmas – presents all the way from Hong Kong.
She says that when she sends Peter the “South Yorkshire Time” – she does every week – he has to pass it round tallish pal after is ready and they like to read to, even though they are not local.
Peter’s father works at Cadeby Main Colliery, where he is a screen fitter. Peter has two sisters and a brother – Pauline (18), Neil (15) and Christine (10).
