He joined the RAF as an apprentice on 20 January 1953 and graduated as a Junior Technician, Electrical Fitter (A) in December 1955. He was a Corporal at RAF Cottesmore 1959-1961 and was last heard of at RAF Acklinton in the early 60's. He is the only member of our small group who's whereabouts are unknown. It is our 50th anniversary this year and it would be nice to know what happened to John Ligertwood (Mac). Regards, Wilf.

Reply to this message   Monte A Springer California, USA Jan 08, 2003 My beautiful and precious son has been parentally abducted from the state of California. His name is John Florence Springer and is 7 years old. His mother and I have been separated for 5 years now. She has stolen my son, my pride and joy. In July of 2002, immediately after attending a custody hearing, she got in a taxi, picked up our son from daycare, and headed for the airport. I was informed second hand that the police traced the cab to the airport. Several days later a letter was received by her mother, postmarked from the U.K., remarking that she did not intend to return and would possibly contact a family member in about a year’s time. It is absolutely unfathomable that the person I shared 20 years of my life with would do such a thing. Not only has she stolen from me, more importantly, she has stolen from my son. This situation is out of control. Parental child abductions committed by a mother in California are not taken very seriously. Within the last month, I have discovered that the authorities on my end have not even made a phone call to try to locate them based on leads provided them by me. Naturally, this is the short version. For this reason, I am enlisting the help of all that are willing to help me re-unite with my son. Prior to the time of abduction, my son’s right thumb had been broken in three places and the thumbnail was missing, He goes by the name of Flurry and is thin built with blue eyes and brown hair. He has a birthmark on his lower back. Approximately ½ of the area of his lower back is of a darker skin pigmentation of no particular shape. His mother went by the name of Kathleen Marie Sullivan-Springer. She is 40 years old and has long wavy brown hair with blue eyes. She is of light complexion with numerous broken blood vessels about her upper chest. She is 5’6” tall and about 165 pounds in weight. They are both of American citizenship and have never resided outside of California.
