Reg was born in Harlow Essex to Percival And Dorothy (nee Scott) in the year 1925. After spending his first years in Harlow he moved to Theobalds Railway Station in Waltham Cross Hertfordshire where he lived in a railway house. When he left school at 14 he followed in his father’s footsteps working on the train line. His father was a railway guard (aka conductor). Reggie worked as a Fireman on the British rail until his early twenties. He was considered an essential worker during WWII bringing supplies to the troops. He joined the Fleet Air Arm in his early 20's as an Air Mechanic during which time he served in the Korean War aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Ocean. On completion of his time in the forces he got a job working for Decca Navigation as an engineer, which took him to Persia (Qatar, UAE) where he spent his time in the desert working on navigation masts. This job came to an end with the unrest in the country and he had to flee back to England. There he took a job at De-Havilland aircraft factory producing the Comet jet.
