I thought I'd be on a charge for firing a bullet
Derek Smith was 18 when he was called up for National Service. He was accepted into the Air Force and trained as a telegraph mechanic. He served in Egypt, Cyprus and Kenya, before returning to a career in banking in London. He shares some of his adventures with us on a visit to the RAF Museum in Hendon.
