Bit far to send to Aldershot?

South Luffenham in Rutland according to Upton's. I'l stand
corrected but I think it is probably him. Timing is correct and
I don't think that Rutland to Aldershot would be deemed too far
in those days. I remember Eric Crickmore of Plymouth turning up
to line a London derby at Selhurst Park and then retiring hurt
at half time. I'm not sure how he got home!

I think he was in the RAF (or other service?) so may have been
posted somewhat nearer to Aldershot at the time.

Although, J Ashworth isn't that unusual a name, so it could
quite easily be someone else.

Jim was born 1944 Rutland, took up the whistle 1967
He was an air traffic controller at RAF Luffenham, Rutland (in
his FL days)
