Just heard the breaking news of the tidal waves in the Maldives and hope that the damage to all of those lovely islands is minimal and that lives have not been lost. I can't help but feel for those islanders whose homes are no more than 6' above sea level

This website covers a lot of the islands that make up the Maldives Chain, it reported on Wednesday that Equator Village (ex RAF Gan) was unaffected by the tsunami

Difficult without names and trade etc but who knows , hens eggs have turned up before!JC
Hello John,
I hope you can help me. I am looking for an ex-RAF type that I knew at Finningley [230OCU Vulcans] around 1961-63, whom I remember was posted to Gan around early-1963. I believe he was, then, an airmech or similar, posted as a Cpl.
FYI - I served in the RAF from 1957-66 mostly with BC & CC, latterly with 224 SQN Gibraltar [the beautiful Shackleton] then finished at HQCC Northwood before leaving on transfer to the RAAF. I served a further 22 years in Intel with the Aussie mob before retiring here on the Indian Ocean coast north of Perth.
