Charles Hope, second left from top, and colleagues from Number 5 Maintenance Unit, Signals Section at RAF Kemble in 1945
This story and picture has been contributed to the People's War by the BBC Learning Centre on behalf of Sally Fenby and with her permission.
This is a photograph taken in 1945 of my father Charles Hope and the people he worked with when he was in Number 5 Maintenance Unit, Signals Section at RAF Kemble.
He lived in Cirencester at the time and worked on the installation of radios into Spitfires and also the maintenance of them.
He was always interested in Spitfires and long after the war he used to take me to Kemble and point out the buildings and show me where he worked.
