Today I interviewed Rolf Williams about his father, James Raphael Williams, a Trinidadian who served in the RAF as a wireless and radar mechanic. We'll get it published tomorrow, and transcribed ASAP. There's a post war twist or two to the story too... @ibccdigitalarchive.bsky.social

My boss and friend, Professor Heather Hughes, Head of the Digital Archive is leaving the university. With all our wonderful volunteers, Alex, Robin, and I will do our best to follow Heather's example and continue to build the IBCC Digital Archive.
