Ronnie Aldrich was born in Erith, Kent in February, 1916. As a gifted young 
pianist, Ronnie undertook extensive musical studies, including a period at 
London's Guildhall School of Music. Later he worked for the Folkestone 
Municipal Orchestra in Kent before becoming a member of the Squadronaires. 
After the disbanding of the band in 1964 Ronnie was employed as a musical 
director for Thames Television. He also played piano and directed specially 
formed orchestras for record dates and radio performances. 

Now The Squadronaires are merely a fond memory but if you can recall the 
Black-out, rationing, books, clothing coupons, the air raid shelters and the 
siren in wartime Britain, you will surely recall also The Squadronaires who 
did so much to bring welcome relief to war weary airmen, soldiers and factory 
workers,the length and breadth of the country.
