Dear Do, If you cant recall me by name I was in Station Armoury and a member of Sq. Lgr Smith's Jungle Rescue Team.
If you have a ohoto of a group of us on the "Devonshire2 on the way home, I am on the back of the group,(blond hair) I was also great mates with Neil Moran ,Andy McLeod, Jock Vine etc we also had a seven a side football team photo taken on which you are present. You were also maty with a tall ginger haired lad from your neck of the woods but I can't recall his name, I did reply to your enqury in RAF Re-United without success
Dear Don,
Ive tried to contact yopu for the usual chat through this page. and also Forces Re-united. but to no avail so I'll try again. I was employed if thats the right word in the Station Armoury with Ted Pope. and was a good friend of Neil Moran Airframes.Jock Vine and Andy McLeod. If you have the photo taken of the group of us on the "Devonshire" i'm on the back row with the light hair! Iwas also in the Jungle Rescue team with one of your mates, a tall ginger haired lad who I believe came from your part of the world. I live in Lancashire on the edge of the Dales. Hope you receive my eMail Best Wishes,
I was in the fire section at Katunake from 58-60, my bed was opposite Stuart Wittering (Wit), During 58 I did a 6 week relief at Gan... Geordie (Jack) Brown
I see that that Stuart Witterring (Witt) has been added to your list. My bed was opposite his in the long billet. The little blonde fellow was a pleasure to know, even if all he talked about was his 'Tinia' I also have photo's from Katunayake and Gan where I did relief in 58
