Coming From Jamaica To Serve In The RAF | WW2: I Was There

Neil was living with his mother in Kingston Jamaica and working for a newspaper when he saw an advert asking for volunteers to join the war effort. In November 1940, the RAF began recruiting aircrew in the colonies. Around 6000 Afro-Caribbean men volunteered. Neil was the 39th to cross the Atlantic to join. As he says he was a young man looking for adventure and keen to serve King and country. He remembers his first impressions of Britain: the food, the climate and the people.
