... Deryck Reginald Aldridge DFC

Sadly died on Sept 4th 2013 aged 91. I attended his funeral at Cromer Church on 18th September. I worked on brief occasions with Deryck at BT (then PO Telephones) between 1963 and 1966. However I remember well seeing his name as Plt Off D R Aldridge DFC on the WW2 honours board which hung in the old assembley hall at PGS when I was at the school between 1955 - 1960,(it is still there). Deryck took part in the Peenemunde bombing raids attacking the V2 missile production facility and there is a paragraph recalling this in Martin Middlebrook's book The Peenemunde Raids. Deryck is survived by his wife Audrey and 2 daughters and their families.

Rather appropriately, Trafalgar Day 2013, saw the funeral of Old Pastonian Harry Pascoe. Recorded on the honours board in the Old Hall at the Grammar School for his Croix de Guerre award during WWII and instrumental in the success of the Caister Lifeboat, Harry will be greatly missed.
