Wartime Romance
Octogenarians Rekindle their Wartime | |
Romance | |
 | Stockport A couple forced to part during the Second World |
| War have rekindled their romance after a break of more than | |
| 60 years. Maimie Meakin, of Glasgow, was 19 when she fell | |
| in love with Frank Walker, two years her senior and an RAF | |
| tail-gunner, in 1942 – but her mother put an end to it because | |
| she feared her daughter could not cope if he was killed in | |
| action. They went their separate ways; both married after the | |
| war, and both recently lost their spouses – before Mrs | |
| Meakin, 86, tracked Mr Walker down in Stockport. “The spark | |
| is still there between us,” said Mr Walker, 88. | |
