Anyone Remember These?

........and I can remember when I was little and the AA man used to salute to my Dad because he had an AA badge on the front of his car. How times change!

Yes I do Sue. What a wonderful capture. Fav.

[Sue Cooper]

@snoopybooboo Thank you Tony and thanks for the fav.

We were RAC but loved seeing the boxes and the saluting chaps.

[Tony Guest (snoopybooboo)]

@barneyone Yes. I used to work in the offices at the RAC in Croydon 1973/1979 sending out the membership cards and bills.

A real blast from the past ! Ooh I remember it well !

Great stuff Sue, I've got one of these on my site 26th April. I found some history and addedit to the pic. There are only 21 of them left. It would be good if we got them all on 365......

[Sue Moore]

Yes! The wonderful AA men on their motorbikes used to salute you as they passed by...if you were a member!!

[Lis Lapthorn]

Yes, we used to enjoy saluting the AA men from our little Morris! Fond memories.

[Pamela Clarke]

Yes, I must admit I do. And the saluting too - nice one Sue.

[Helen]

Yes I remember them....... I've also taken photo's of this one at Devils Bridge! Nice capture..... that can be quite a dark spot on a damp rainy day if my memory serves me right ...........

[Lynne Powell]

We used to know an AA man when I was a child . I used to be fascinated by the gaiters and the itchy wool orangy / brown uniform !

@barneyone @virtualbrownie @beryl @yogisue @foxes37 @pamelaclarke @dizzyd @lynne53 @sjc88 Thank you all for your great comments. Isn't it nice that we all have these fond memories of AA chaps. You're right Steve, we should set ourselves a challenge. Do you know where they all are?

[Steve]

@susiemc I'll find out!
