Ernie Hoare, the seventh of twelve children, was born in 1921, and lived not far from the ''lock and weir'' bridge straddling the Thames between Richmond and St Margarets
Here he describes his life ''back then'', a life that changed dramatically when he joined the RAF aged only seventeen and became an aircraft technician during World War II. Ernie is the remarkable story of one man''s life during one of the most cataclysmic times in British History - it is a story of struggle, of loss, of survival, and also of hope.
