Hello All,
Been some time since I posted. I did 30 yrs in the Mob Met Unit (ended up as SLOPS).
I'm looking for the Op name(s) for the sampling Dets/dates to Shemya, Adak, Midway, Lima, and the ship-borne S Pacific sampling/monitoring. I'm going to try to access the files in The National Archives (TNA). A number of my Met blokes were on those Dets (both in uniform, and as civvies).
But just as a matter of interest several of my blokes (can't confirm they were on sampling Dets) died from various cancers. However, one (an ex-WW2 Met Recce MAO) has only just died aged 94. A second (another ex-WW2 Met Recce MAO) is still with us - in his mid-90's, and a third (who did Montebello and Christmas Island, etc) is, as far as I know, still with us.
I would appreciate any help with names/dates, etc. TNA make it quite difficult to get at the appropriate files (there's FOI 'hoops' to jump through!) so it would help if I got the titles correct!
TIA
