Bernard "Ben" Johnson
Recieved from Nev Witham
It is with great sadness that I received the news this morning of my uncle's passing, from his son Alan. He died after a series of illnesses in Springhill Nursing Home, Accrington, after a short time there, having spent a few weeks in the Royal Blackburn Hospital.
Bernard "Ben" Johnson spent 22 years "in the mob" and like others, first served as a supplier, later moving across to Movements.
He carried out his National Service in around 1954 -56, stepped outside into Civvi Street for a matter of months, before deciding to sign up on a more permanent basis for the RAF. I seem to recall that he completed his 22 years service back in 1977, when we both served at RAF Lyneham. Some of his tours were carried out in Abingdon, Muharraq, Kenya, Gutersloh, Lyneham, although I did know that he spent a considerable time on UKMAMS.
Some of his claim to fames were; he was part of a team that brought back Tutankhamen's treasures for exhibition in the UK He was also the first instructor on Condec Training.
Bernard "Ben" Johnson, Feb 1936 to 22 Jun 2025, aged 89 years.
