Photograph was taken
at a Bentley Drivers Club meeting
at the Police Headquarters in Hutton
near Preston Lancashire. The man in
the flat cap smoking a pipe is my
father. In front of my father, Henry
Philip Rippon, is my brother (a fighter
pilot in W.W. II) and in between them,
his head just visible, is another
of my brothers. We were a large family
of five boys and two girls!!
