This is the earliest photograph of Marquita Lockie, the only
daughter of Mollie and George Lockie. |
Another photograph of Marquita Lockie. It looks like it was taken
when she was about 3. |

This is the earliest photograph of Melvyn Lockie, taken with his sister
Marquita soon after he was born. |
This is Quita and Mel Lockie in the garden of the house in Godalming
in which Agnes Burden, their grandmother, lived with Ron Burden,
their uncle. It was probably taken in about 1948 when George Lockie
was stationed at RAF Hendon. |

This is uncle Ron entertaining Quita and Mel Lockie. |
Another photograph of Quita and Mel Lockie together. This was taken
at the Berryfields estate which formed the Married Quarters of RAF
Melksham, where George Lockie was stationed from about 1949. After
Melksham, George Lockie was posted to RAF Cardington. |

George Lockie was posted to RAF Geilenkirchen in Germany in about
1953 and Melvyn attended the primary school on the station. However,
Quita attended Windsor School, Hamm, a boarding school established for
the children of UK forces in Germany. Melvyn joined her for a few
months before George was posted to RAF Linton-on-Ouse, Yorkshire. This
photograph was taken prior to Quita and Melvyn embarked on the long
train journey from Geilenkirchen to Hamm at the start of term. |
While at Geilenkirchen, Melvyn was a Cub. Despite the smile, it was
not a fulfilling experience and he didn't go on to become a Scout. |

George Lockie had bought a car when stationed in Germany so he
and Mollie spent their holidays in the 1955-1965 period touring the
UK while the roads were virtually empty. This looks like Scotland. |
