  | My old History teacher. Was wondering today about my old history teacher from Penhill Secondary School, Swindon when I was there ,1979-82. He was Mr Lowery (or was it Lowry?) He was in Bomber Command and postwar flew Vulcans. I think he was decorated, not sure though. Any RAF types able to shed any light on him? Long shot I know but he might be listed somewhere. Just wondered what he might have done and if he's still about. |

| Owen, Can you recall your history teachers first name, there are quite a few Lowery's and Lowry's listed in the London Gazette.

| Owen have you tried friendsreunited.com? A lot of teachers are listed there so perhaps one of the younger ones might know more about his RAF service. I understand it's now free to contact other members of the site. Lee

| friendsreunited is now free to contact others??? About time too. Owen have you tried contacting your school? Perhaps some staff members might remember him or have details?

| My History Teacher threw me out of class when I was 15 because I laughed at the idea of laying mines between the opposing trenches in WW1.
