Catherine sadly passed away last year.

Post war, houses were built and John and Catherine were allocated a house in South Queensferry where they remained.

After the war, John was posted to Edinburgh Airport, initially still with the RAF, but then the Meteorological Office was created, and he worked for them until he retired in 1984.

Despite retiring, John went and found a job with a firm of solicitors in Edinburgh where he worked until he was 78 years old.

Visiting on the day to offer their congratulations were Cllr Andy Jackson, presenting flowers on behalf of Fife Council and Col Jim Kinloch, Deputy Lieutenant, representing the Fife Lieutenancy.
